Memorable architecture of any scale is the product of collaboration and innovation—two forces that, along with our drive for excellence, remain SOM’s defining traditions. Seasoned designers, technical architects, and managers lead our architecture teams, providing the diverse knowledge that is essential to each project's success.
Innovation takes many forms and addresses a spectrum of challenges—from garnering community support to achieving unprecedented efficiency. Whether rethinking a site plan to create a new public open space or designing a groundbreaking energy-saving curtainwall, SOM integrates early on the expertise of the entire team as well as our clients to uncover the full potential of each project’s site, program, and resources.
