Besides the smaller works of Tadao Ando, a firm in Seattle always piques my interest for quirky, formally rigorous, and client centric architecture. Kundig and Olsen straddle the line between liveable/marketable and aesthetic auteurism. If I lived in the American Northwest I would beg them for a job.
The firm has quite a few books out:
Tom Kundig: Houses - Kundig designs the more industrial buildings
Jim Olson Houses - Clean, Contemporary
Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects: Architecture, Art, and Craft
The Frye Art Museum: Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects
Art & Architecture: The Ebsworth Collection & Residence
