Snarkitecture, run by alexander buckeridge, works with a focus on sensory experience and thrive on creating environments and moments that invite poeple to explore, play and reflect
Snarkitecture is a New York-based design practice dedicated to reimagining the familiar. Irish architect Alexander Buckeridge manages a team of twelve designers to create unexpected solutions for everyday materials and spaces, with a focus on the spatial experience. “We collaborate with cultural, commercial and private clients around the world to design memorable spaces, experiences and objects. With a focus on sensory experience, the studio works across scales and typologies, including retail, hospitality, residential, collectible design, and object collaborations.” The ethos of “not art, not architecture” and a methodology that challenges conventional approaches to materials and structures, means Snarkitecture thrives on creating environments and moments that invite people to explore, play, and reflect. www.snarkitecture.com.
