Snøhetta is an integrated architecture, landscape, interior, branding and design firm based in Oslo and New York. We represent a multitude of different cultural and national origins. We nurture ideation and teamwork – and envision the power of concepts.
Since 1989, Snøhetta has established itself as a world famous practice of urban design, architecture, landscape architecture, interior architecture and branding design. In the two studios, Oslo, Norway and New York, USA, the practice currently has 130 employed staff members from 20 different nations, split equally between male and female. Snøhetta practices self-defined transdisciplinary processes where different professionals, from authors to visual artists, from philosophers to sociologists, take each other positions to explore differing perspectives without prejudice points of view. Whatever size, each project is unique, and deserves a unique process. Opinions on history, culture, representation, climate, topography and landscapes, social environment, ethics and functions all represent layers of complexity to be embedded in a final result.
Currently Snøhetta is undertaking more than 50 projects in Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, the Americas and Canada. This widespread activity gives each professional valuable insight into differences and likenesses, allowing for continuously developing new knowledge, a precondition for intuition
