Snøhetta is an international architecture, landscape architecture, and interior design office based in Oslo, Norway and New York City.

Snøhetta has two principals, Craig Dykers and Kjetil Trædal Thorsen. In addition there are four partners, architect Robert Greenwood, architect Ole Gustavsen, architect Tarald Lundevall, and landscape architect Jenny Osuldsen. Ole Gustavsen fulfills the role of Managing Director for the company. In 2006 Snøhetta had approximately 80 designers working on projects in Europe, Asia and America.

Among Snøhetta’s notable works are:

* The Bibliotheca Alexandrina (Library of Alexandria) in Egypt
* The Norwegian Embassy in Berlin
* The New National Opera House in Oslo
* The Turner Contemporary Museum in England
* The Lillehammer Art Museum in Norway
* The National September 11th Memorial Museum Pavilion/Cultural Complex at the World Trade Center site in New York
* The James B. Hunt, Jr. Library at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC

The practice is focused upon a transdisciplinary platform where multiple professions work together to explore differing perspectives of the conditions for each project it undertakes. The nature of the solutions often dwells upon the relationship of the program and site. While not emphasizing one condition or one attitude over another, the result is a design intention that promotes a narrative of what it is, where it is, what it does, and how it does it.

The company is composed of designers and staff from around the world and the social environment and working conditions of the firm is very important to its members.
