Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, also known as SOM, have one of the largest portfolios of architecture in the world. With a 74-year career, the office continues to be very prestigious with highly skilled professionals producing high-level projects.Skidmore, Owings and Merrill LLP (SOM) was formed in Chicago in 1936 by American architects Louis Skidmore and Nathaniel Owings, and later John O. Merrill who joined in 1939. In 1937, they opened their first branch in New York, the first step for anyone who becomes a large architectural firm in the world. They first became specialists in commercial buildings, building some of the tallest in the world.
Most post-war designs have become icons of modern American architecture. Over time, many qualified professionals have an extensive selection of works, large-scale to qualified interior spaces. SOM shows that over time their projects continue to improve. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, from Chicago and New York, have offices in San Francisco, London, Washington DC, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Brussels, and their work appears in almost every corner of the world.
