Olson Kundig is a full-service design firm based in Seattle whose work includes residential, museum and exhibition design, hotel projects, commercial design, academic architecture, interior design, landscape design and churches. The interior design studio was founded in 2000 by founder Jim Olson.

Jim Olson's design concept is to make the building as a bridge between nature, culture, history and people, and this inspiring environment has a positive impact on people's lives. In addition to serving the practical functions of daily life, a building can be spiritual and inspiring. In addition to what architecture can do, art's interpretation of architecture makes the environment better and more meaningful.

Jim Olson's work is closely related to art, which has shaped his career. He has worked with famous artists such as James Turrell on various projects, and participated in projects related to art, such as Seattle art museum, kirkland art museum, Washington state university art museum and so on. He believes that the existence of art gives a deeper meaning to architecture. Whenever possible, he prefers his architectural framework to be an independent work of art rather than a museum experience.

It's easy to overlook how art and architecture are intertwined. Architecture can enhance the experience of viewing art by creating great backgrounds; But above all, it is an art form in itself, capable of transcending time and flesh. There is no doubt that Jim Olson is the one who really understands the connection between art and architecture.
