Olson Kundig

In Every day, Seattle-based architect Kirsten R. Murray presents eleven works drawn from her nearly three decades in practice. These projects focus on an aspect of the “everyday”—the places and environments we experience in daily life.

These smaller-scale, nuanced projects have formed a through-line in Murray’s design practice; her close attention to the patterns and habits of the people who inhabit these spaces has come to inform Murray’s larger mixed-use and master planning work. No matter the scale or location, Murray’s work demonstrates the possibility of transformation and elevation through the everyday—the tactile, unfolding experiences of the human body in space that we often take for granted.
