The Spiral is at the forefront of the redevelopment of Manhattan鈥檚 west side and directly engages its context by extending the green space of the adjacent High Line vertically up the tower in a spiralling motion. The 1,031-foot supertall tower slowly reduces its volume with each run following the zoning envelope to create an elegantly tapered silhouette on the skyline of the city.

How do you describe your approach to the design?

We have a holistic approach to design, creating buildings, masterplans and landscapes that demonstrate a high sensitivity to the demands of site, context and program. We often combine traditional elements in untraditional ways to significantly increase 鈥 and often redefine 鈥 the value of their outcomes.

Our innovative, award-winning methodology is exempli铿乪d by our experience over the past two decades working globally across a variety of scales and sectors with an incredible network of consultant partners.

Why do clients come to you?

We work with some of the best clients around the world and believe our role inherently goes beyond form-making and aesthetics. Our process takes a holistic view of each project, often transforming a hurdle into an asset that enhances the building aesthetically, spatially and functionally and consequently adds social, environmental, and economic value to clients, users, and the public alike.

We pride ourselves on approaching projects with a fresh perspective, delving deep into a client鈥檚 needs and desires. Our design studios are now working across six continents 鈥 affording us a knowledge repository like no other.

What have been the highlights for you in the past year?

2023 was a great year for us. Our 1,031ft tall tower - The Spiral - completed in New York鈥檚 Hudson Yards. We were announced as the masterplanner of the incredible Oxagon in Saudi Arabia, NEOM's octagonal port city and logistics hub.

We went public with our designs for the world鈥檚 first 3D printed hotel, El Cosmico 2.0, in Marfa, Texas. Our Red Lion Court and Canada Water schemes in London both received planning consent. The UAE Pavilion at the 2023 International Horticulture Expo opened. We launched the Nawabari Collection of furniture with BoConcept.

And finally, 2023 also saw the opening of our new Headquarters on the waterfront in Copenhagen, as well as the new home for our Barcelona studio at events attended by staff and close friends of the practice.

What is your special focus for MIPIM 2024?

MIPIM is our yearly chance to connect with current and future collaborators and highlight what we鈥檝e been up to across our studios. We鈥檙e looking forward to catching up with organisations from around the world to discuss potential work and build the relationships we believe are crucial to the creation of successful projects.

Is there anything exciting on the horizon?

We are a busy practice 鈥 and are delighted to be progressing some exciting projects in the coming months which include some in new sectors and markets. These include the construction of 120 Fleet Street in London, CityWave in Milan, and the Gastronomy Open Ecosystem in the culinary epicentre of San Sebastian, Spain.

We have also been selected as winner of some incredible and ambitious competitions in the Middle East, in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh, and Muscat, which we will be able to announce shortly.

UAE Pavilion: The country鈥檚 pavilion at the International Horticulture Expo 2023 in Doha, this project takes its inspiration from the Ghaf tree and its complex root structure, with rammed earth walls and palm-leaves roof creating a striking architectural space.
