Herzog & de Meuron is an international architectural practice based in Basel, Switzerland. Established in 1978, the practice is led by the two founders together with the Partners and the CEO. Today, an international team of over 500 collaborators is engaged in a wide range of projects across Europe, the Americas and Asia. The main office in Basel works in tandem with studios in Berlin and Munich, Paris, London, Barcelona, Hong Kong, New York, and San Francisco. As an architectural expression of heritage, these iridescent surfaces honor the courage of the region’s pearl divers and connect the building’s contemporary form to a timeless Gulf tradition. Just beyond your residence, a vibrant waterfront comes alive. Cafés, dining terraces, and boutique retail bring rhythm to the waterfront-from slow mornings with coffee by the sea to al fresco dinners under the stars. Here, everyday life flows as easily as the tide.
