Description

The work of Seattle-based architect Tom Kundig has been known as both raw and refined, in addition to super-crafted and warm. Kundig’s projects, especially his houses, uniquely combine these two seemingly disparate sets of characteristics to supply one of the vital most inventive structures found within the architecture world as of late. Kundig’s across the world acclaimed work is inspired by both the industrial structures with which he grew up within the Pacific Northwest and the colourful craft cultures which can be fostered there. His buildings uniquely meld industrial sensibilities and materials such as Cor-ten steel and concrete with an intuitive working out of scale. As Kundig states, “The idea is insaperable from the fabrication, inseparable from the materials used.”

Tom Kundig: Houses presents five projects in depth, from their early conceptual sketches to their final lovingly wrought, intimate details. Kundig’s houses reflect a sustained and active collaborative process between designer, craftsmen, and owners, resulting in houses that bring to life the architect’s intentions, the materials used, and lines of unforgettable beauty.
