Founder Jim Olson designed and built his first project—a bunk house on his family’s property in Longbranch, Washington—in 1959, before formally creating an architectural practice in 1966. This solo studio continued his interest in residential design that explored the relationship between the Pacific Northwest’s built and natural landscapes. More than five decades later, our work continues to be informed by this origin in residential design and a deep consideration of the human experience. Our portfolio has now expanded to include residences, commercial and mixed-use buildings, wineries, sports facilities, museums, cultural and civic centers, and hospitality projects around the world.
