Company Profile
Kohn Shnier architects was founded in 1990 as a small practice dedicated to non-specialization. The work is characterized by its eminent practicality imbued with invention and often whimsy. The press has described the work as being neither overly formal nor trendy through a balance of convention and invention.

The firm has been widely recognized including nominations for the prestigious International Chrysler Design Award and the New York Architectural League’s Emerging Practice Award. Their projects appear in global compendiums such as The Phaidon Atlas of World Architecture and Architecture Now! Volume 2, and have been honoured with an inclusion in the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York.
