SHoP Architects
About
SHoP Architects is a New York-based global design leader, with iconic projects completed or underway across more than 100 million square feet on five continents. We work with the world’s most important and innovative companies in a wide range of industries to create award-winning projects of international renown.
Our practice forefronts the activation of dynamic public spaces, the use of technology to imaginatively reinterpret authentic building materials, and an emphasis on the research and deployment of adaptive methods that simplify and accelerate project delivery under challenging circumstances. Notable SHoP projects include Brooklyn’s Barclays Center arena, the Uber Headquarters in San Francisco, the Collins Arch complex in Melbourne, Fulbright University Vietnam, the Botswana Innovation Hub, multiple diplomatic facilities under a Design Excellence contract with the U.S. Department of State and two supertall residential towers in New York City—111 West 57th Street and The Brooklyn Tower—that have been recognized as instant classics. The diverse, trendsetting and enduring work of the firm has been widely celebrated with a variety of honors, among them the Smithsonian Institute’s National Design Award for Architecture and, in 2025, the AIA Medal of Honor.
In 2021, SHoP became a 100-percent employee-owned company—furthering a commitment to a culture of innovation and the next-generation practice of architecture.
