Olson Kundig is a full-service design firm whose work includes residences (often for art collectors), museums and exhibition design, hospitality projects, commercial design, academic buildings, interior 

design, landscape design, and places of worship.



The firm is led by five owners Jim Olson, Tom Kundig, Kirsten R. Murray, Alan Maskin, and Kevin Kudo-King who are supported by eleven principals, fifteen associates, and a staff of approximately 

140 in the historic Pioneer Square neighborhood of downtown Seattle. The firm opened a workspace in New York in 2014 to better serve its expanding roster of East Coast and international clients. The 

in-house interiors studio, founded in 2000, provides a full range of services, including material selection, custom furniture design, and purchasing capabilities. The landscape design studio 

provides in-house design services dedicated to artfully integrating nature and the built environment.



The firm began its creative existence in 1966 with the architect Jim Olson, whose work at that time 

centered on explorations of the relationship between dwellings and the landscapes they inhabit. Olson started the firm based on the essential ideas that buildings can serve as a bridge between 

nature, culture, histories, and people, and that inspiring surroundings have a positive effect on people s lives.
