The Bullitt Foundation Building
Proposal for Design Services
[RE-THINK]
Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects
with
Pliny Fisk III, Gail Vittori and Katrina Morgan
Letter of Interest
January 26, 2009
Dear Advisory Committee,
It is clear that you want Bullitt Foundation Building to be at the leading edge of green
design. It’s time to rethink what that means. It’s not simply meeting green standards – it
means going beyond them. We want to take your project beyond the prescriptive to
the inventive. We actively seek clients and collaborators who want to go someplace
new – we’re interested in this project because you want something more than a concrete-base, wood-frame building with some PV panels on top. Our history is expanding beyond a commodity to create a building with character and beauty – a building
that will last physically as well as in people’s thoughts and imaginations.
Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen has a strong tradition of rethinking – working with collaborators to re-imagine the limits of what a building can be through the innovative
use of engineering, function and art. But the Bullitt Building needs something more if it
is going to push the boundaries of design. To help us imagine the possibilities, we’re
partnering with two sets of collaborators.
Pliny Fisk III is a visionary, a real inventor who’s been rethinking the science and
technology of building since the 1970s. He has deep roots in green design, and unlike others, he’s remained an idealist, partly by staying close to experimentation and
hands-on building. He and Gail Vittori are co-directors of the Center for Maximum
Potential Buildings Systems (CMPBS), a non-profit design firm dedicated to sustainable
planning, design and demonstration. Gail is a powerhouse – she’s the Chair of the
U.S. Green Building Council’s Board of Directors and has worked on groundbreaking sustainable projects around the country. Pliny and Gail will contribute recognized
experience in the science of sustainability, creative thinking, and the use of analytical
tools to make assessments – all of which are key to the Living Building Challenge. They
will work with us closely in the conceptual phases, and will be integral to developing the philosophy of your building. We’ll also work with Katrina Morgan, director
of Blackbird Studio, a local sustainability consulting firm. Kat, a former employee of
OSKA, is currently working on several of our projects as well as training our staff in
aspects of sustainable design and LEED.
Sustainability is not only about metrics. It’s not a market niche, and it’s not something
that we think about separately from other design concerns. It’s the way we create, and
it has been part of the firm’s thinking since Jim Olson designed his first green roof in
1968, and Pliny and Gail began their decades-long contribution toward improving
our future. We want to take this knowledge, this curiosity and passion, and use it to
create the Bullitt Foundation Building.
Sincerely,
Tom Kundig, FAIA

Great architecture is the intersection of the rational and the poetic. - Glenn Murcutt
Chicken Point Cabin
Design Approach
How do we design and build appropriately to the realities of our time?
How do we design and build in order to improve our future?
For over 35 years, OSKA has considered these questions by challenging, reinterpreting,
and combining proven ideas to move our design in new directions. Through collaboration with engineers, artists and inspirational personalities, we’ve learned that ideas can
be shaped and matured into realities far beyond an initial conception.
This rethinking of ideas and concepts is an integral part of Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen. An example of how we think and work is our approach to “inside-outside” relationships at Chicken Point Cabin. It’s a theme we’ve played with in much of our work, letting
it evolve in built projects that blur the separation between shelter and nature. The design
of Chicken Point started with an idea that a building could be like a tent; that a window
wall could act like the thin zippered door between shelter and the natural world. With
little effort, a person can open the entire wall and change the nature of the building and
the occupants’ experience. Through collaboration with engineers, Tom’s original idea
of a pivoting wall driven by a sandbag counterweight transformed into a kinetic device
powered by the equivalent force of a small child, aided by geared mechanical advantage and a fly-ball governor for controlled decent. This project has captured the imaginations of hundreds of people and won multiple awards (including a National AIA Honor
Award); the New York Times called it “modern architecture at its most elemental.”
Chicken Point is an example of our theory that buildings and their parts are most successful when they are simple in form, but do multiple things. A single device performs
multiple roles – it is a window, wall, door, awning, and a frame for a view. The parts
and systems that comprise the overall form are inseparable from their function and shape
the experience of the occupants. This one part/many roles can be seen in much of our
work, including our office’s skylight (pg 16), T Bailey pipes (pg 10), and the lightcatcher
at the Whatcom Museum (pg 11). Likewise, the sustainable aspects of the building are
inseparable from its design: the window wall facilitates natural ventilation and daylighting; long-lasting materials like concrete and steel are unfinished and contribute to a
raw aesthetic; discarded metal pieces like a steel pipe and truck suspension spring are
rescued and repurposed into remarkable custom furniture.
Multiplicity of purpose and flexibility for user-needs leads to a particular vision about
sustainability, one with which we have found true partners in Pliny Fisk and Gail Vittori.
Their work shares our vision about flexible building systems that can be adapted to
changing needs and conditions. Buildings conceived in this way will ultimately be more
effective, serve more purposes, and have a longer life.
OSKA and CMPBS also share a strong environmental and site-specific sensitivity and
understanding of the limits and opportunities of a locality. Our approach to the Bullitt
Foundation building will align a common respect and understanding for the Northwest
region and this Capitol Hill neighborhood. We believe this project holds the potential
to make Seattle – the place where we live and do the majority of our work – a more
sustainable city.
Our firm’s philosophy of sustainability hinges on respect for the environment, natural
and manmade, and aligns itself closely with a focus on craft, light, nature and the life of
the building. Pliny and Gail, as well as Katrina, bring a deep understanding of science
and technology of sustainability. This dialogue between the science and the architecturally poetic, where Tom has great affinities and strength, is what will produce a building
which can meet, or better yet, exceed your aspirations for this project.

the central Texas region, integrating the supply
and use of water, food, energy, waste and material resources with local and regional businesses
and utilities.
•
Planned and designed using Eco-Balance Planning ™
methodology, reflecting the spatial footprints resulting from the life cycles of sustainable technologies
incorporated in the project.
•
An open, flexible building system that can be
modified to adapt to changing needs and working conditions while keeping the basic spatial life
cycle footprints as efficient and site-dependent as
possible.
•
Sustainable design features include: climatic design
and orientation, daylighting, rainwater harvesting,
on-site wetland wastewater treatment, composting
toilets, solar photovoltaic panels, straw bale and
straw panel walls, caliche block, fly ash concrete,
recycled content steel post and beam structure,
food-producing landscaping.
Delta Shelter
Seattle, WA
Completed in 2005
•
A steel-clad box on stilts that can be completely shuttered
when the owner is away.
•
Extremely limited materials palette: plywood, steel, aluminum windows, and tongue-and-groove car decking.
•
All four shutters can be opened and closed simultaneously
by using a hand wheel that moves the shutters over the
glazed portions of each façade. The shutters are operated
by a series of mechanical devices including a hand wheel,
drive shafts, u-joints, spur gears and cables. In this way, the
user can use human power to respond to climatic conditions.
•
The shutters can close the house at night, limiting heat loss,
and open during the day for solar gain. Natural ventilation
is achieved by having one-half of each façade capable of
opening the building to the outside.
•
Most of the structure was prefabricated off-site, limiting typical construction waste and reducing on-site waste and site
disruption.
•
Small footprint of 1,000 SF; minimal site impact.
GroHome, Solar Decathalon
Prefabricated Housing
with Texas A&M University
•
An approach to housing that uses an open building
system invented by Pliny Fisk and developed for Texas
A&M’s entry for the 2007 Solar Decathlon Competition.
•
Incorporates best practices supply chain management
to achieve economies of scale and anticipate changing
needs of the building owner, allowing for upgrades and
replacements.
•
Basic structural frame uses high performance, light
weight, industrialized elements, easy to transport and
assemble. Onto the frame, the builder can add prefab-
ricated groWalls, groFloors, and groRoofs that provide
all of the services and feature of the home. Because they
are coordinated dimensionally, a component can be replaced or altered as the owner obtains more money or
requires different features. Solar generators such as photovoltaic arrays or hot-water arrays provide the energy
needs appropriate to the life style and solar resource
availability.
•
The system expands to include a groCommunity, taking
into account transportation, food production, waste disposal, and water resources.

T Bailey Offices
Anacortes, WA
•
Project explores how a client’s product – pipes used in
wind turbines – can be used in the construction of their
headquarters.
•
Architects rethought how the pipes could be used to promote sustainability practices. Located within the vertical
pipe, a skylight and large fan ventilate the main office
floor. The skylight and fan are powered by solar energy.
Warm air is sucked from the office space through the
stairway pipe and evacuated out of the building, significantly reducing the cooling load.
•
The project is located in a delicate marine environment.
The roof’s slope directs runoff into a native-plant rain garden.
•
Visitors enter the building and climb to the main office
space via a horizontal 14’ and vertical 22’ diameter
pipes.
•
This 11,700 sf office addition adjoins a existing heavy
industrial manufacturing plant – all steel fabrication and
erection takes place next door to the project.
•
Blackbird Studio conducted an Eco-charrette at the beginning of the project.

a green roof.
•
A 37’ tall, 180’ long translucent wall, “the light
catcher,” is the focal point to a central courtyard. The light catcher serves multiple roles. It
acts as a beacon and makes a direct connection with the Old City Hall; it also serves as
a surface to screen movies and light art. The
light catcher’s double-skin glazing naturally
ventilates and acts as a thermal insulator for
semi-conditioned lobby and public spaces.

Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects began its
creative existence with architect Jim Olson, whose
work in the late 1960s explored the relationship
between dwellings and the landscape they inhabit
in the Northwest. Olson started the firm based on
some simple ideas: that buildings can serve as a
bridge between nature, culture and people, and
that inspiring surroundings have a positive effect
on people’s lives. Rick Sundberg joined the firm in
1975, and its commitment to urbanism and civic
life became evident as they began designing and
developing modern urban buildings in and around
Seattle’s national historic districts Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square.
Earth House, 1968
Pike & Virginia, 1978
In 2000, Tom Kundig and Scott Allen joined Olson and Sundberg as owners, taking the firm to
another level of creative exploration and helping
it grow into an office with an international reputation. Alan Maskin and Kirsten Murray joined the
owners group in 2008, continuing the evolution of
the firm and furthering its commitment to the experience around architecture, articulated in exhibit
design, interiors, and connections to urban and
rural landscapes.
The firm now numbers over 85 employees. Olson
Sundberg Kundig Allen’s work, including museums, academic buildings, exhibit design, interior
design, places of worship and residences, often
for art collectors, is now worldwide. The office
combines the capacity of a large firm with the intensity of a small one. The firm’s commitment to
vigorous, critical design review sessions has infused its designers with a shared sense of commitment to every project.

participation will be dictated by the Bullitt Foundation’s project goals as
they become more concrete during early planning and schematic design
phases. This idea generation, the dialogue which follows, and the physical
possibilities they represent, will become a part of the platform from which
Tom and the team will construct an integrated, thoughtful and compelling
architectural concept.
Depending on the agreed direction of the building project and program,
Pliny and CMPBS may also assist in the implementation of design concepts
for which they are uniquely qualified, such as life cycle design and eco-balance. Similarly, Gail Vittori, co-director of CMPBS, will provide valuable
design input during conceptual design and where needed, solution implementation.

Pliny Fisk III and Gail Vittori, LEED AP
Co-Directors of The Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems
Role on this Project: Sustainable Design Collaborators
Pliny Fisk is considered one of the originators of the Sustainable Architecture and Planning movement in the U.S. and
has several national and international awards in the field.
His work has been significant at many levels: from helping
formulate local and national policy in green building, to designing signature buildings, many of which have been published in the national press.
Starting with his interdisciplinary thesis work with Ian McHarg
in 1969 and continuing into the present day, Pliny has developed a series of Meta eco-technology plans, processes and
procedures. These range from the first large-scale wetland for
urban waste water treatment, to a global transformation of
the biogeochemical cycles covering 39% of the global population on coastal regions. On a strategic planning level Pliny
was instrumental in an EPA funded project that developed the
country’s first IO/LCA/GIS model, representing 12.5M businesses in the US. At the site planning level he has developed
an interscalar resource balancing approach to master planning called EcoBalance Planning. This life cycle based planning method is used in design curriculums at two universities
and was recently incorporated into a sustainable urbanism
plan for ‘Verano’, a new community in San Antonio, Texas
with an expected population of 20,000.
Pliny has received numerous national and international
awards including a USGBC Leadership award in 2008, an
Earth Summit Award (shared with the City of Austin), and
the first Sacred Tree Award presented by the U.S. Green
Building Council. He also recently had the honor of being
appointed to the General Services Administration’s national
peer review committee for federally funded buildings. In the
press, Pliny was featured in Texas Monthly magazine’s thirtyfifth anniversary issue as one of 35 futurists, and in 2006,
Metropolis Magazine selected him as one of fourteen design
visionaries.
Pliny’s research and teaching covers a wide range of subject
matter including the development of one of the first design/
build courses in sustainable architecture in the U.S. at UT
Austin. He has written extensively on his theories and practices, and lectures regularly both in the U.S. and abroad, averaging 20 such appearances on an annual basis. Lectures
and invited appearances in 2008 included the Netherlands
Architecture Institute Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale, CNU XVI in Austin, Texas, and Eco-Build El Paso.
Gail Vittori, LEED AP, is Co-Director of the CMPBS, where
she has worked since 1979, and serves as Chair of the U.S.
Green Building Council’s Board of Directors. Since 1993,
Ms. Vittori has coordinated the Center’s Sustainable Design in
Public Buildings Program, including serving as a Sustainable
Design Consultant for the Pentagon Renovation Program’s
Commissioning Team from 1999 to 2006, numerous City
of Austin design projects including Texas’ first public sector
LEED® certified building, the redevelopment of the 709-acre
former Austin airport, the new Austin Federal Courthouse with
Mack Scogin Merrill Elam Architects, and the first LEED-Platinum certified hospital in the world, Dell Children’s Medical
Center of Central Texas. Additionally, she oversees sustainable design and green development with a host of projects
in Austin, including the 1-million square foot Block 21 mixed
use development and Escarpment Village retail center, both
with Stratus Properties.
Since 2000, Ms. Vittori has been a catalyst for several national initiatives focused on green health care facilities, including collaborating on the development of the American Society of Healthcare Engineering’s (ASHE) Green Healthcare
Construction Guidance Statement, and the Green Guide for
Health Care, convened by the Center in 2002, and currently
a project of the Center and Health Care Without Harm.

Gail Vittori (continued)
Current health care projects include Co-Coordinator of the
Green Guide for Health Care, and Founding Chair of the
U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED for Healthcare core
committee (2004-2008).
In her hometown of Austin, Texas, Ms. Vittori has been
a driver of policy initiatives that have fundamentally influenced its future. In 1989, Ms. Vittori proposed a conceptual framework for what evolved as the City of Austin’s
Green Builder Program, the only U.S. program recognized
at the 1992 U.N. Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, and the
first green building program in the world. She oversaw
the early stage development of the program through 1992.
Austin’s Green Builder Program influenced the formation of
the U.S. Green Building Council and LEED®, in addition to
scores of policies throughout the U.S. and abroad. Additionally, from 1988 to 1998, she served on the City’s Solid
Waste Advisory Commission – six years as Chair – formed
in response to a successful initiative co-coordinated by Ms.
Vittori to cancel a proposed waste-to-energy municipal solid waste incinerator. Her work on establishing pay-as-youthrow recycling residential recycling programs, in addition
to recycling programs for the City’s commercial and multifamily sectors, has led to Austin having one of the nation’s
most successful recycling programs.
Ms. Vittori was a Loeb Fellow at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design from 1998-1999, and attended the
University of Massachusetts at Amherst where she studied
economics. She collaborates with Health Care Without
Harm and the Healthy Building Network on numerous national and international environmental health initiatives.
Ms. Vittori is on the advisory boards of Natural Home magazine and Environmental Building News. She is co-author,
with Robin Guenther FAIA, of Sustainable Healthcare Architecture, published by Wiley and Sons in 2008, was featured as an Innovator: Building a Greener World in TIME
Magazine in March 2007 and, with Pliny Fisk III, in Texas
Monthly’s 35th year anniversary issue (February 2008) in
the article ‘35 People Who Will Shape Our Future’.

Director, Blackbird Studio; Associate Principal, Rushing
LEED Accredited Professional
Role on this Project: LEED and Sustainability Facilitator
Often called the “Horsewhisperer” in green building circles, Katrina brings a unique brand of sustainable design
expertise to her projects. Drawing from her background
in architecture (she is an Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen
alumnus) and 15 years in the construction industry, she has
managed the sustainability and LEED consulting for over 6
million square feet of built environment, including post occupancy evaluations and alternative funding procurement.
With a deep knowledge of sustainable practices, Katrina
acts as an educator, facilitator, and technical resource to
enable teams to achieve soulful, ecologically sensitive,
affordable places. As the Director of Blackbird Studio,
Katrina has worked on a wide variety of building types,
including commercial office, multi-family residential, mixeduse projects, civic buildings, and schools. All Blackbird Studio projects benefit from the MEP engineering expertise of
its parent company, Rushing. A licensed Architect, LEED
AP, and Certified Sustainable Building Advisor (CSBA),
Katrina holds degrees in Architecture and Environmental
Design from Ball State University.
Katrina is currently leading a series of monthly sustainability workshops at Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen for principals, associates, and senior project managers. Each month
focuses on a topic of sustainable design – site development, water use, etc. – and explores how to implement
these tactics on current projects, as well as how to present
sustainable opportunities to clients.

series of Tom’s well-recognized projects, including Chicken
Point Cabin, Outpost, and the Olson Sundberg Kundig

which he’s worked have been published internationally in
such publications as the New York Times, Elle Decoration,
