The ChallengeShowing the people behind six decades of work
Olson Kundig needed to transform its digital storytelling to reflect growth in offices and leadership, build deeper user connection to the people and culture behind its work, and scale content without compromising site look or speed.

The SolutionA timeline that invites exploration
The new website, built on WP Engine, successfully transforms Olson Kundig’s digital presence into an interactive, story-driven platform that authentically reflects their culture and creativity through a built-in dynamic timeline tracing back the firm’s 60-year history and a streaming-style “Play” multimedia hub for podcasts, interviews, home tours, and speaker series content.
The Webby-nominated site, in the Architecture, Art & Design category, invites curiosity and exploration rather than admiration from a distance, allowing visitors to connect not just with the firm’s extraordinary work, but with the people, principles, and journey behind it.
The new site includes complex engineering for video content and interactivity. WP Engine’s support team was always available and helpful throughout our QA process.
