TOM KUNDIG, FAIA, RIBA

PRINCIPAL / OWNER & FOUNDER, OLSON KUNDIG

Tom Kundig, FAIA, RIBA, is a principal / owner & founder of Olson Kundig. Tom has received some of the world’s highest design honors, including a National Design Award in Architecture from the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, an Academy Award in Architecture from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and an election to the National Academy as an Academician in Architecture. Known for his contextual approach to design, Kundig emphasizes the primacy of the site. His buildings are a direct response to place, often serving as a backdrop to the built, cultural or natural landscapes that surround them. Tom’s ongoing work includes private homes, hospitality projects, workplaces and adaptive reuse projects around the globe.

Olson Kundig is a full-service design firm led by 12 principal/owners that provides integrated architecture, exhibit design, interior design, urban design and landscape architecture for clients around the world. Now in its sixth decade of practice, the firm’s design approach is dedicated to expanding the context of built and natural landscapes. 

Rooted in the Pacific Northwest, the firm’s work—commercial and mixed-use buildings, museums, cultural and civic centers, residences, and hospitality projects—extends worldwide. With a team of over 300, Olson Kundig brings the capacity of a large firm with the intensity of a small practice.
