About Heatherwick Studio
Heatherwick Studio is formed of over 250 problem solvers. The studio strives to design inspiring, impactful projects and sensitise millions of people to the epidemic of emotionally unhealthy environments that surround us all. Our goal is to spark a global movement that no longer tolerates inhuman, soulless places.
Our vision is for a world where the buildings and places around us are radically more joyful, engaging, and human.
Based out of our combined workshop and design studios in London, Shanghai, and California, we create buildings, spaces, masterplans, objects, and infrastructure all over the world. At any one time, we might be working on a pollution-eating car, an international headquarters in Silicon Valley, an opera house in China, or a chair. We value each equally.
We expect all studio members to work together with honesty and integrity, and to have a genuine care for each other. The studio is a creative community, and it’s fundamental to us that everyone feels they belong, regardless of their culture or background.
