Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects Design New Wing Luke Asian Art Museum in Seattle

Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects have designed the new Wing Luke Asian Museum.

The firm's design preserves and restores the historic fabric of the East Kong Yick Building and offers new and expanded space to the Wing Luke Asian Museum, a Smithsonian Institution affiliate and America's premier pan-Asian Pacific American museum.

Rick Sundberg, principal of Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen, led the design.

The Wing Luke Asian Museum is a significant addition to Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen's portfolio of museums and cultural places, which includes an award-winning renovation of Seattle's Frye Art Museum, the Bellingham Art and Children's Museum (currently under construction), and the Sun Valley Center for the Arts (currently in design).

The new Wing Luke Asian Museum, in Seattle's Chinatown International District, offers space for community meetings and events, public space for the neighborhood, theatre space for performances and presentations, exhibit spaces for community art and emerging Asian Pacific American artists, family-centered learning environments and leadership development for neighborhood youth.
