City dwellers (including the pigeons!) love to hang out at the 550 Madison Avenue garden during the cool NYC Autumn days. Take a seat by the textured, stone water feature and listen to the babbling of the fountain or lounge in the lush seating coves during a much-needed respite from busy Midtown. Whether you want sun or shade, there are many different spaces to inhabit.

International integrated architecture, landscape, interior architecture, art, product, graphic and digital design firm.
Om oss
Snøhetta is an international integrated architecture and design firm. The practice has a global presence, with offices spanning from Oslo, Paris, and Innsbruck, to New York, San Francisco. Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Adelaide and Melbourne. Snøhetta kick-started its career in 1989 with the competition-winning entry for the new library of Alexandria, Egypt. This was later followed by the commission for the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet in Oslo, and the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion at the World Trade Center in New York City, among many others. Since its inception, the practice has maintained its original transdisciplinary approach, and integrates architectural, landscape, interior, product, graphic, digital design and art across its projects. The collaborative nature between Snøhetta's different disciplines is an essential driving force of the practice. Snøhetta is currently working on a wide range of international projects, including the Ordrupgaard Art Museum expansion in Denmark and the Shanghai Grand Opera House. Recently completed works include Le Monde Group Headquarters in Paris, Europe’s first underwater restaurant, Under, the redesign of the public space in Times Square, the expansion to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Lascaux IV: The International Centre for Cave Art, Powerhouse Brattørkaia and the design for Norway’s new banknotes. Snøhetta’s working method practices a simultaneous exploration of traditional handicraft and cutting-edge digital technology. At the heart of all Snøhetta’s work lies a commitment to social and environmental sustainability, shaping the built environment and design in the service of humanism. Snøhetta believes well-conceived design can help things run more efficiently, improve people’s well-being and make life more enjoyable. Every project is designed with strong, meaningful concepts in mind – concepts that can translate the ethos of its users and their context.

The iconic spiral staircase of Shanghai Grand Opera House is taking shape! Designed to bring artists and the public under a shared roof, the sweeping form of the Opera House connotes movement. The helical roof surface evokes an unfolding fan, capturing the dynamism of dance and the human body. Generating both surface and space, the radial movements of the roof form a spiraling staircase that connects ground and sky, while creating views towards the city and the Huangpu riverbanks. 🎥by: @studiosz_photo #snøhetta #architecture #landscapearchitecture #operahouse #shanghaigrandoperahouse #shanghai #houtan #bund

"The points of correspondence are indeed striking, especially as regards the facade...a sort of abstract calligraphy, based on designs by artist José Parlá, creeps across the fritted glass of the Queens project, as though the books inside had overrun their pages and splattered onto the walls." -Architectural Record Read Architectural Record's write-up of our Far Rockaway Library in this month's issue: https://brnw.ch/21wNGBU #snøhetta #architecture #farrockaway #queens #publiclibrary #architecturalrecord
