Located in Lower Manhattan, SHoP was founded in 1996 by five principals Christopher Sharples, Coren Sharples, William Sharples, Kimberly Holden and Gregg Pasquarelli. The practice has grown over the past thirteen years to an office of sixty. Our educational and professional experience encompasses architecture, fine arts, structural engineering, finance, and business management. With the exception of single family residences, we work on many project types, from multi-story housing to academic buildings to master plans. We are currently working on numerous projects totaling $2 billion around the world, and we’re having a lot of fun doing it. SHoP has won numerous awards, including the 2009 National Design Award for Architecture Design by Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. SHoP's work has been published and exhibited internationally, and is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art.
