10 Unique Projects by Olson Kunding

Olson Kunding Architects was founded in Seattle by Jim Olson in the 1960s. A key focus of architect Jim Olson was the relationship between homes and their surrounding landscapes. The architecture firm, established on simple principles, emphasized that buildings should act as bridges between nature, culture, and people, with designs aimed at positively influencing human life. With Tom Kunding joining the firm in 1986 and becoming the owner in 1994, Olson Kunding Architects took creative exploration to a new level and progressed towards becoming an internationally renowned office. Olson Kunding Architects, which has produced many unique works since its founding, continues its work today.

Olson Kunding has garnered some of the industry’s highest honors due to its numerous designs, which stand out for both their aesthetic and functional qualities. These awards include the 2009 AIA National Architecture Firm Award (as Olson Sundberg Kunding Allen Architects), the National Design Award for Architecture Design from the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, the Academy Award in Architecture from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and inclusion in Interior Design Magazine’s Honor List.
