Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects, Jim Olson (Seattle, WA)

In residential projects for major art collectors across the country, Olson has explored most profoundly the aesthetic interplay of art and architecture—and the relationship of light, space and mood. His work consistently demonstrates that art is not an afterthought to architecture but an integral part of it, as he creates homes that offer an appropriate environment for living with art and a sensitivity to the varying space and light requirements of differing art genres. His commitment to the integration of these fields carries through other project types, as Olson at times takes a curatorial role in selecting or commissioning art for institutional as well as residential clients. http://www.oskaarchitects.com/files/Jim_Olson_Resume.pdf
