[edit] Discussion
Formerly Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects, with Rick Sundberg, FAIA, LEED AP, and Scott Allen, AIA.
- Recipient, AIA Architecture Firm Award, 2009 (as Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects).
Led by four owners, Olson Kundig Architects is an architecture studio based in Seattle. In 2009, the firm (as Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects) was the recipient of the prestigious Architecture Firm Award from the American Institute of Architects. With a staff of more than 75, the office combines the capacity of a large firm with the intensity of a small one. Its commitment to vigorous, critical design has infused its designers with a shared sense of commitment to every project and an appreciation of the technical and artistic elements involved in the realization of a building. The studio’s work can be found around the world and encompasses a wide range of projects including museums and cultural spaces, exhibit design projects, residences (often for art collectors), mixed-use buildings and complexes, academic and civic projects, places of worship, and interior design.
- "Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects Changes Firm's Name to Olson Kundig Architects" - press release, 2009.1116:
"Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects will change its name to Olson Kundig Architects starting January 1, 2010. The new name reflects the growing nature of a firm that has evolved since its founding in the late 1960s and whose vision is now marked by the rich and varied personalities of its five owners, Jim Olson, Tom Kundig, Rick Sundberg, Kirsten Murray and Alan Maskin. The current firm name has been in use since 2000 but is no longer appropriately reflecting the partnership: Alan Maskin and Kirsten Murray became partners in 2008 and Scott Allen left the firm in 2009 to create Scott Allen Architecture. In addition, Rick Sundberg, who remains as a partner, is in the planning stages for the creation of a new philanthropic organization focused on architecture."
