Ecosystème D / Snøhetta + Santer Vanhoof

Andreas Luco — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Rooted in the port landscape of Dunkirk, Écosystème D is an energy-positive building designed to serve as a catalyst for energy transition. Dedicated to innovation in renewable energy, it brings together an incubator, a technology hall, a training center, and a showroom under one roof. The entire structure is part of a low-impact, bioclimatic architecture that embodies innovation. In constant interaction with its environment, the building represents a new urban and industrial dynamic for the Hauts-de-France region.

Nanterre-Amandiers National Drama Center Renovation and Rehabilitation / Snøhetta

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 03:00:00 +0000

The rehabilitation of the Center Dramatique National Nanterre-Amandiers continues the story of a place that has long been emblematic of contemporary French theater, conceived from the outset as a space open to all. At the intersection of the city and the park, the project reaffirms the theater as a place of encounter, creation, and shared experience, deeply rooted in its local context. The architecture supports this evolution through a restrained intervention that reveals and reorganizes the spaces. The existing volumes are preserved and reorganized around a newly recomposed grand hall, the true heart of the theater. Transparency, continuity of movement, and a diversity of spaces help transform the building into a welcoming and permeable place. In this way, Les Amandiers reasserts itself as an open theater, where stage, city, and everyday life come together. The history of the Nanterre Amandiers National Drama Center (CDN) is that of a theater in constant transformation, closely linked to the city's evolution and driven by a strong artistic and social ambition. Located to the west of Paris, Nanterre is a commune within the Paris metropolitan area that, since the 1960s, has experienced profound urban and social changes. It was in this context that the city became the first to support the project of Pierre Debauche's company, whose founding intention was to bring to the theater "those who had never been there before."

The Glasshouse Theater / Blight Rayner Architecture + Snøhetta

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 03:00:00 +0000

Queensland Performing Arts Centre's (QPAC) new Glasshouse Theater in South Bank is a sight to behold, defined by its rippling glass façade and its ambition to reframe how a major cultural building engages with the city. Designed by Blight Rayner Architecture in partnership with Snøhetta, the 1,500-seat venue makes QPAC the largest performing arts centre under one roof in the country and capable of presenting world-class ballet, dance, symphony, opera, theater, and musicals to the same standard. Blight Rayner and Snøhetta won the international design competition for the project in May 2019. The brief had allowed for the building to cantilever some six meters out on its two street frontages in order to fit the required size onto the site, over the preexisting Playhouse Green.

Good Finance Taichung Downtown Branch / Snøhetta

Valeria Silva — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 03:00:00 +0000

Snøhetta's design for Good Finance's Taichung office branch articulates the firm's ambition to redefine the culture of finance into one that is open, inclusive, and nurturing.

Polène Boutique / Snøhetta

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 04:00:00 +0000

The design of Polène's new Hamburg boutique, the brand's first flagship store in Germany, embodies a refined aesthetic—clean lines, fluid curves, and sculptural folds—an architectural reflection of the brand's signature approach to re ned leather goods.

Qasr AlHokm Metro Station / Snøhetta

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 08:00:00 +0000

A 360-degree reflective canopy and a lush underground garden welcome travellers to the Qasr AlHokm metro station. As one of four main hubs in the new metro system of the Saudi capital, connecting two of the main metro lines, the historic Al-Qiri district station is designed as an open urban and pedestrian plaza with a large stainless-steel canopy that acts as an urban periscope. The station levels are visually linked through the mirror-like overhang structure reflecting the outside inwards and the inside outward, while also directing natural light into the underground station and providing shade to the surrounding public areas.

Cloud 11 Creative Park / Snøhetta

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 03:00:00 +0000

With a civic landscape doubling as ecological infrastructure, the 250,000 m² mixed-use urban regeneration project sets a precedent for future climate adaptation in Southeast Asian cities. Snøhetta, in collaboration with A49 Architects, has unveiled its most extensive urban regeneration project in Asia for Magnolia Quality Development Corporation (MQDC). Located in the South Sukhumvit — one of Bangkok's most vibrant cultural and innovation hubs — Cloud 11 is a mixed-use development defined by a central courtyard that serves as both ecological infrastructure and cultural park. The design harnesses the power of landscape to create an urban oasis that champions environmental resilience and community wellbeing. Rooted in its surrounding context, the project is inspired by the layered conditions of Bangkok's shophouse streets, elevated sky train lines, and emerging high-rise towers. By sculpting the architecture from the space between these layers, Cloud 11 forms a new "in-between" realm. The result is a generous public landscape that bridges scales, reconnecting the neighborhoods, offering a vibrant civic space for all.

Susanna Moreira — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Beginning in 2019, Snøhetta, in collaboration with Christener Architects, Schuler Shook, BSI Constructors, and Kirkegaard, led the expansion and modernization of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra's historic performance space, Powell Hall. To ring in the hall's centennial in 2025, the organization embarked on an ambitious 64,000-square-foot expansion with Snøhetta as design architect and landscape architect. The project will allow the concert hall to be more fully accessible and open to the community, creating a facility that supports and nurtures the creative process from idea to performance.

550 Madison Avenue Garden / Snøhetta

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 06:00:00 +0000

The opening of the Garden, the first new green space in Midtown in decades, comes as Olayan completes the repositioning of the iconic 550 Madison Avenue office tower, New York City's youngest landmark. Snøhetta served as design architect for the repositioning of the tower as well as landscape architect for the new Garden.

Roelevard Complex / B2Ai + Snøhetta

Valeria Silva — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 12:00:00 +0000

The transformative development Roelevard is breathing new life into Roeselare's historic railway district. Together with local architect B2Ai, Snøhetta has developed a mixed-use complex in the Flemish municipality of Roeselare, Belgium, that reconnects the city's urban fabric, transforming a once-divided site into a vibrant hub for living, working, and gathering. Roelevard, a union of the name Roeselare and the word boulevard, is a mixed-use complex that transforms the old railway station area in the historic city of Roeselare in Belgium. The buildings are recreating the area that used to be divided by the rail line into a vibrant work and living environment with new connecting points. Located in the center of the Flemish municipality, adjacent to Roeselare Central Station, the project strengthens connections between the front of the station and the previously undeveloped areas behind the tracks, reuniting the two sides of the city.

Lakehouse Wendelstrand / Snøhetta

Valeria Silva — Thu, 17 Jul 2025 03:00:00 +0000

Since 2017, Snøhetta has been engaged in the transformation of an old quarry to an environmentally and socially sustainable neighborhood in Mölnlycke, outside Gothenburg in Sweden. What started as a lofty concept of healing a wound in the ground and regenerating the surrounding nature has now manifested itself as a garden city with varied housing typologies suitable for any family. Wendelstrand offers diverse public areas and a park that meanders through the development and has its crescendo as the roofscape of Lakehouse – a communal building to be used and enjoyed by everyone living or visiting Wendelstrand.

Pirelli 35 Office Building / Park Associati + Snøhetta

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 08 Jul 2025 03:00:00 +0000

Park and Snøhetta have joined forces to transform Pirelli 35, a 1960s office block in the heart of the Porta Nuova district in Milan, into a dynamic, accessible, and environmentally sustainable urban landmark. The project, commissioned by COIMA, redefines the relationship between architecture, landscape, and public space, creating a new focal point for urban regeneration. As a testament to its strategic and architectural relevance, Pirelli 35 has already been chosen as the Italian headquarters of both Adidas and Condé Nast. The international design competition for Pirelli 35 led to an unexpected yet visionary collaboration. Initially presenting two distinct yet complementary proposals, Park and Snøhetta were invited by COIMA to merge their expertise into a unified project. This partnership -Snøhetta's first in Italy- exemplifies how architectural quality and sustainability can coexist in a mutually enriching collaboration.

Nouveau Centre Administratif d’Etat de Lyon / Snøhetta

Pilar Caballero — Sat, 08 Mar 2025 07:00:00 +0000

The project for the new State Administrative Centre in Lyon is part of the Part-Dieu urban district in Lyon, France. La Part-Dieu is France's second-largest business district, after La Défense. It is a particularly densely populated area, with 60,000 jobs, 2,500 businesses, shops, offices and a railway station. Today, this part of Lyon is the subject of a vast renovation plan that includes the redevelopment of public spaces and the creation of new public buildings, housing and offices. The existing buildings, which are old and obsolete, will be demolished to free up space for urban developments such as the new Centre Administratif d'Etat (CAE).

Beijing Sub-Center Library / Snøhetta

韩爽 — Wed, 27 Nov 2024 07:00:00 +0000

The new library is located in Tongzhou District, a designated sub-center of Beijing that is often considered the eastern gateway of the capital. As one of three new major cultural buildings in Tongzhou, the Beijing Library further establishes the area as both a vibrant district in itself and an extension of Beijing's urban fabric. It anchors the neighborhood's ambitious masterplan and will help to catalyze its transformation from a relatively undeveloped area into a lively arts and cultural destination. New transit links to Beijing's center are underway, promising to further integrate Tongzhou with the city and drive visitors to the sub-center. Snøhetta was awarded the Beijing Library in 2018 through an international competition and the project was completed with local partner ECADI. The firm is currently working on three libraries in the United States: Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, Far Rockaway Library, and Westchester Square Library.

Far Rockaway Library / Snøhetta

Andreas Luco — Tue, 05 Nov 2024 06:00:00 +0000

The Far Rockaway Library in Queens is designed as a collaboration between Snøhetta and Brooklyn-based contemporary artist José Parlá to reflect Far Rockaway's diversity and dynamism. Serving as a community gathering place and resource for knowledge, the library symbolizes resilience. In 2012, Hurricane Sandy nearly destroyed the surrounding Rockaway community. In the aftermath of the storm, the existing 1968 library building provided disaster relief to residents. It was a lifeline, becoming a meeting point, a food and supply distribution center, and more. The library empowered collective action, and in turn, became a symbol of hope. The design to replace the original library aims to amplify its role in the community even further, serving as a hub for learning and exchange.
