Founded in 1989 in Olso, Norway, Snøhetta has since
been recognized as one of Europe’s leading architecture firms. Having a solid
mix of architects working with interior designers and landscape architects,
Snøhetta now has offices in both Norway and New York City in the US.
Seven architects and landscape
architects got together to form a collaborative studio in 1987. Snøhetta, the
architecture firm was formalized after the team from Norway collaborated with a
team of architects from Los Angeles to join the competition to design the
Egyptian Library of Alexandria. Since then, the firm was awarded the contracts
for various large projects around the world including The Norwegian Embassy in
Berlin, The memorial museum on Ground Zero of the World Trade Center site to
commemorate the September 11 attacks, North Carolina State University’s James
B. Hunt, Jr. Library, and the Lillehammer Art Museum in Norway. They have also
been awarded the contract for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s
expansion which is expected to be completed in 2016.
