SNØHETTA

Snøhetta is a place nobody is from, but anyone can experience. Creating places for societies to connect with each other and with the world around them is a primary motivation in our work. Dialogue and diversity empower this approach... From the beginning, our approach has been framed by environmental and cultural sensitivity. When we began the studio, the Brundtland Commission's UN report on sustainability, Our Common Future, was just published and became an inspiration to build a positive future, unique at the time. Throughout the years, we continue to promote design as a positive force in the world. Today, we also connect habitat for humans and non-humans alike with other considerations of sustainable materials, positive energy and water resource management, carbon and emissions control, and control of waste. This is further empowered by positive workplace guidelines for healthy labor practice in construction and throughout the design process... Human interaction shapes the spaces..
