With offices in Oslo, Innsbruck, San Francisco, and New York, and projects all over the world, Snøhetta's architecture, landscape, interior, and branding design projects are created across political boundaries, at all scales, and are fundamentally concerned with the unique interactions between people and places.

Snøhetta was established in 1989 by Craig Dykers and Kjetil Trædal Thorsen. The only company to have twice won the World Architecture Award for Best Cultural Building, Snøhetta has since grown to become one of the most important architecture practices in operation today. The firm's work spans multiple disciplines.
