"...make sure to check out Tom Kundig: Works, a beautiful coffee
table book out now. Your living room ambiance will thank you." -
Airows.com
"...his latest book, "Tom Kundig Works" shows that he always starts
with the idea of intimacy. No matter what size they are, his
buildings are comfortably scaled shelters from which to enjoy the
spectacle of nature, even if it's only urban greenery." - Wall
Street Journal
"...the book is as autobiographical and informative as it is
beautiful." -- Uncrate
"Filled with dozens of sketches, renderings and lavish full-page
photographs, the book follows two previous volumes celebrating
Kundig's houses, both among the publisher's best-selling titles of
all time." - Rhapsody Magazine
"The book is beautifully designed and produced: a match for its
content, and a joy to browse." - Form
"The sense of quiet, warmth and tranquillity in the projects in
Works, from the Studhorse residence in Winthrop, Washington to the
Pole Pass Cabin on Washington's Orcas Island and an Upper East Side
residence, all speak to the Kundig's unique style of modern
architecture." - The Vancouver Sun
"Tom Kundig: Works unveils 19 of the architect's striking, angular
private residences, commercial spaces, and public buildings. Each
pairs raw, rugged exteriors with inviting interior spaces that
champion simplicity, comfort, and warmth." - Elle Decor
"Works incorporates the architect's personal observations about his
projects alongside conversations with frequent collaborators and
clients (including thoughts from Olson Kundig's
resident-gizmologist Phil Turner), creating a holistic and intimate
portrait of his working process. The book offers not only gorgeous
studies of Kundig's signature details and integration with natural
landscapes, but also a record of his refreshingly straightforward
voice." - Archinect
"Works is the latest tome on Kundig's quietly prolific output, a
portfolio of relatively modest but undeniably spectacular homes
that exploit the topography, views and atmosphere of their sites
down to every last detail." - Wallpaper*
