Expanding footprint Olson Kundig is actively expanding into new sectors and geographies with recent project announcements in sports facilities (Bay FC training facility) and residential markets (Blue Ridge House) across the United States, signaling opportunities for clients seeking design-led expansion and hospitality integration.

Sustainability focus Strategic partnerships and project work emphasize net-zero potential and environmentally sound design, such as the collaboration with Aro Homes to prototype net-zero single-family residences, presenting a strong pitch to clients prioritizing sustainable, carbon-conscious development.

Diverse project scope The firm’s wide portfolio spans cultural, museum, commercial, residential, hospitality, science labs, worship spaces and landscape design, enabling cross-sector leverage to offer integrated design solutions to diverse clients exploring multi-use and experiential spaces.

Tech and data readiness The tech stack includes cloud, data, and design tools (Snowflake, Google Cloud Platform, Autodesk, Deltek Vision) which supports scalable project delivery and potential efficiency gains, a selling point for clients seeking modern, data-informed design and workflow integration.

Industry recognition A track record of awards and notable projects (AIA Firm Award, Smithsonian recognition for Tom Kundig, Hayden Lake cabin award) enhances credibility when approaching prospective clients in design-conscious markets and can shorten sales cycles through proven excellence.
