Olson Kundig is featured in “The Modernists” category for architecture, which is described by Architectural Digest as “cutting-edge architects who put a poetic spin on pure forms.” In the magazine, the editors speak with principals and owners, Jim Olson and Tom Kundig, about their philosophy, current projects, key influences and more.

 

 

PHILOSOPY
“Architecture is about context—cultural or natural,” says Tom Kundig. Jim Olson adds: “I see landscape, architecture, interiors, and art as one harmonious environment. Indoors and outdoors should flow together.”
