Olson Kundig has promoted Pinar Harris, Vikram Sami and Brian Walters to principal.

Harris brings over 23 years of experience leading large-scale mixed-use, highrise residential, and hospitality projects across Florida and the Caribbean. Recognized for her progressive technical approach, collaborative leadership and effective communication, Harris works with clients to translate business goals into design solutions. She streamlines complex processes while focusing on design excellence to support project delivery at every scale.

Sami has been a leader in high-performance buildings for over 23 years, combining technical expertise with a love of design as Olson Kundig's Director of Building Performance. Sami leads Olson Kundig's participation in the AIA 2030 Commitment and mentors teams across the firm, bringing his expertise in building performance to projects including DARA, a free, accessible dashboard that empowers designers to balance embodied and operational carbon over a building's full lifespan.

Walters joined Olson Kundig in 2013, developing his expertise through urban commercial and mixed-use projects spanning a variety of scales. From interiors-focused tenant improvement projects to large, multi-block developments, each created opportunities to engage with the existing context of a project site and to contribute to the layers of history and development that compose the urban fabric. Walters collaborates closely with diverse groups of stakeholders to develop solutions to complex program and site requirements, while advocating for each project's specific vision and goals.
