Influenced by the legacy of his father and grandfathers, who are craftsmen and builders, Steven is drawn to the expression of craft and tectonics, particularly the ways in which buildings come together and in the details and materials from which they are made. Equal parts beauty and performance, his design approach is characterized by its rationality as much as its quiet balance. As leader of Olson Kundig’s research and innovation initiatives, Steven balances future-forward innovation with time-tested methods—honoring established practices while exploring emerging tools and advanced digital technologies.
