We’re thrilled to share that The New York Times has featured the new Office Hut at Hawaii Residence, led by design principal Tom Kundig, FAIA, RIBA, in their story, “Office Retreats Without Leaving the Office.” Perched on a rocky trail, the wood and steel hut bridges a landscaped hillside and small pond below, creating a garden refuge within this micro-landscape. A hand-operated kinetic screen allows the pond-facing elevation to open completely to the landscape or close against harsh weather or when not in use. “You can’t help but feel like you’re part of the landscape in this space,” Tom told The New York Times.

For the 2024 Seattle Design Festival , Olson Kundig partnered with Dowbuilt, Net Your Problem LLC and Western Washington University's Polymer Materials Engineering program to bring our installation, Between Baleen, to life. Between Baleen is a fully immersive sensory installation that explores the humbling scale of ocean life, honoring the ecosystem of our local waters. The installation provides a unique opportunity to be immersed in ocean life of the Pacific Northwest, while highlighting the efforts of organizations that recycle and repurpose ocean plastics in partnership with the fishing industry. Here, a selection of photos from Between Baleen during Seattle Design Festival—stay tuned for more chances to see the installation! Project Team: Ozana Gherman and Nico Koppe, Design Leads; Jamie Slagel, AIA and Clay Anderson, Design Mentors; Dowbuilt, General Contractor; Net Your Problem LLC and Western Washington University, Collaborators.

Today, we’re celebrating 20 years with our Director of Field Operations, Doug Imanishi, whose leadership and dedication have been instrumental in shaping Dowbuilt. When asked what’s kept him at Dowbuilt all these years, Doug shared: “I love the people and the work at Dowbuilt. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with so many talented people here. Each has taught me how to be a better builder, craftsman, team member, businessperson, leader, follower, and friend. Honestly, the list goes on and on. Ultimately, I am grateful for the friendships and the bad-ass-get-it-done people I’ve met through Dowbuilt.” What are you most proud of? “Seeing what we do all over the country—what our teams achieve—is inspiring and makes me immensely proud. We take on cutting-edge residential work and never back away from a challenge. It might sound corny, but I recently watched “Apollo 13,” and there’s an intense scene where the crew has to repair the CO2 scrubber to survive. Their ingenuity and drive reminded me of our people at Dowbuilt. Of course, we’re not building spaceships, but we do tackle some challenging residential architecture. It made me realize that we have some of the best superintendents and field personnel around.” Doug E. Fresh, where do we even begin? First, you’re one of the finest human beings we know. Second, you’re as steady and unshakable as an oak tree. Third, you still find time to give back to your community through Kendo (he’s a world-renowned swordsman and sensei—no joke, look him up!). Thank you for two remarkable decades of teamwork, friendship, laughter, and love. We wouldn’t be here without you. Cheers to 20 years! #dowbuilt #dowbuilt_people #constructioncareers #workanniversary #employeeappreciation

Today we revisit a new Bay Area home led by design principal Tom Kundig, FAIA, RIBA, which was recently featured online by Architectural Digest. “It was designed to highlight the client’s art collection, but it's not a whole bunch of little walls,” Tom told AD. “It’s about balancing the big window views with the big wall views. The big window views also create this easy transparency between inside and outside. It’s what California is supposed to be about.” Visit link in bio to read more! https://lnkd.in/gN8Z-m4P #Architecture #Design #InteriorDesign Project Team: Tom Kundig, FAIA, RIBA, Design Principal; Todd Matthes, Principal/ Project Manager; Charlotte Essex, AIA, CSBA, SEED, Project Architect; Alex Fritz, Associate, Project Architect; Katherine Ranieri, Project Architect.

Join us in Seattle for the Seattle Design Festival at Lake Union Park on August 17-18!
To bring Between Baleen to life for the Seattle Design Festival Festival, Olson Kundig partnered with Net Your Problem LLC (NYP), a group that removes and recycles end-of-life fishing industry materials to keep ocean waters clean worldwide. Nicole Baker, Founder of NYP, has donated recycled fishing materials to help Olson Kundig create this sensory installation. Our goal is that visitors will be immersed in the ocean life local to our region and understand the impact of ocean plastics on our ecosystem. Visit Between Baleen and other Seattle Design Festival installations at Lake Union Park on August 17-18! https://lnkd.in/g76aVpPJ Project Team: Ozana Gherman and Nico Koppe, Design Leads; Jamie Slagel, AIA and Clay Anderson, Design Mentors; Dowbuilt, General Contractor; Net Your Problem LLC and Western Washington University, Collaborators.
