Snøhetta

We are architects. We use design and architecture as a positive force in the world.

For 35 years, architecture has been the core of Snøhetta, often in combination with other disciplines. Our projects range from beehives to opera houses and large masterplans, with concepts born out of careful consideration of the context and landscape in which they are situated.

Architecture dates back to the very start of Snøhetta, when we set up a small architecture and landscape collective in Oslo. In 1989, we won our first significant commission to revive the ancient library of Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt. Integrating landscape and architecture, and also art and interior, this project became defining to Snøhetta’s transdisciplinary approach, where the disciplines work holistically to constitute a greater sum than its individual parts.
