Reviews
When architect Jim Olson designs a home, his distinctive aesthetic, elegant and understated, comes into play. Sensitive to his clients, many of whom are sophisticated art collectors, he creates living spaces that are comfortable and expressive, enabling the room's art to speak. Jim has an innate talent for combining art and architecture and for working with artists to incorporate their installations seamlessly into his work. I dream of the intimate room of changing light that artist James Turrell created in a Jim Olson house as it was being designed and built. Jim Olson, gracious and self-effacing, has a magic touch. --Mimi Gates, Former Director, Seattle Art Museum, When architect Jim Olson designs a home, his distinctive aesthetic, elegant and understated, comes into play.

Synopsis
The sixteen houses and apartments featured here respond to different needs and sites, but all share a common DNA. They are the product of a singular vision and a collaborative process. --Michael Webb Seattle-based architect Jim Olson, the founding partner of Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects, is particularly known for his subtly elegant residences, from a glass farmhouse in eastern Oregon to a Balinese-inspired retreat in Hawaii, from a diminutive waterfront cabin for his own family to two grand art-filled residences on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle. Modern in spirit, the luxurious houses are characterized by intangible qualities of light and space. Olson balances a deep knowledge of architectural history, from the temples of Egypt to the great buildings of the modern era, with a sensitivity to art and nature. Each work is carefully calibrated to site and client. Olson is fascinated by the relationship between art and architecture, and many of his houses and apartments have been designed for major art collectors. The sixteen residences in this volume--in Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, and Hong Kong--explore that interplay as well as the correspondences between light, space, and mood. The finely proportioned interior spaces are distinguished by a striking use of both natural and highly refined materials, masterful modulation of light, sophisticated details, sleek furnishings, and a careful balance between monumentality and intimacy. In natural settings, his buildings often weave into their surroundings as if they had always been there; in urban environments, his designs create and enhance a sense of community. The introduction, by noted design writer Michael Webb, emphasizes context and process, vital factors in Jim Olson's work., The first monograph on Jim Olson's firm, Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen: Architecture, Art, and Craft, sold 5.5K (simultaneous HC and PB editions). We expect more from this because the firm continues to receive extensive coverage in home/architecture/art publications.

- e***o (895)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook arrived well-packaged and in fine condition. But a comment is in order about the tracking. Piss-poor! Labeled 'UPS', but delivered by USPS. The tracking says it's still on the way despite being delivered yesterday. Several "Delivery dates" were posted on their site, which came and went. The 'Contact information' said that calling them would yield nothing more than their site offered, which was nothing. So, pleased by the product and packaging, my only complaint being of the tracking.
