Olle Lundberg

An Architecture of Craft

About this book

A monograph on the work of San Francisco architect Olle Lundberg, with a foreword by Andy Goldsworthy.

Lundberg Design is an award-winning architectural firm based in the Dogpatch neighborhood in San Francisco. Founded by Olle Lundberg in 1987, the studio focuses on the notion of craft—the unique piece or project handmade for just that client—and the use of recycled materials and objects. This illuminating book traces Lundberg's personal and architectural journey, from his experience as a young University of Virginia student to becoming the go-to architect for the Bay Area’s digital elite, in addition to his obsession with materials and how his studio pushes them to their limits. 

Explore these lush, photo-rich pages to read Lundberg’s personal narrative, take a deep dive into his preferred material palettes—metal, stone, glass, wood, and objects—and learn about the planning and execution of five outstanding projects:
  • Rolling Wall Museum
  • Curly’s Cove
  • Lava House on the Big Island of Hawaii
  • Dog Leg House at Pebble Beach
  • Lundberg's Northern California cabin

A beautifully crafted architectural design book, Olle Lundberg offers inspiration and insight into the discipline for creative professionals, students, and design enthusiasts passionate about environmentally responsible and highly personal residential and commercial design.
