As architects in London, we are passionate about beautiful designs and structures from around the world. Here are some noteworthy architectural wonders of the world that should be on everyone’s bucket list.

- The Guggenheim Museum, New York City (USA)

The skyline of New York is arguably one of the most iconic and recognisable in the world, but the city has more to it than skyscrapers. The Guggenheim Museum, created in 1939 by Frank Lloyd Wright, is a work of art in itself. The museum walks the line between sculpture and architecture, featuring unusual and distinctive structural elements such as ovals and triangles.

- Palm Islands, Dubai (United Arab Emirates)

Dubai is well-known for its amazing and impressive structures – most notably the Burj Khalifa, which is the tallest building in the world – and the Palm Islands is no exception. Included on most maps, the man-made islands are a combination of artistic and structural genius, constructed in a palm tree design. If you are travelling to Dubai, you’ll definitely want to witness this.

- Willis Tower, Chicago (Illinois, USA)

Chicago is home to the world’s first steel framed skyscraper which was created in 1885, so it’s easy to see why they continue to inspire the world of architecture with the Willis Tower. The tower scales up 110 stories and reaches 1,450 feet, meaning it’s the tallest in the Western Hemisphere and eighth tallest building in the world. Willis Tower was created in 1970 and has a sky deck for visitors to witness the beautiful city from a bird’s-eye view. Chicago is definitely a place to visit if you are a lover of architecture.

- Duomo Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence (Italy)

The city of Florence is iconic and has some of the most captivating architecture in the world, much of which dates as far back as the early Renaissance era. Even hundreds of years after their original construction, these timeless classics are still beautiful and attract attention from all over the world. The Duomo is the world’s third largest church and took centuries to complete. Construction began at the end of the 13th century and the final element of the building, the marble facade, was completed in the 19th century. When it was first built, it was the largest dome of its kind in the world, making it one of the world’s most groundbreaking examples of architecture.

Our architects in London can surpass all your expectations when it comes to creating commercial and residential architecture. We are renowned for creating forward-thinking and sustainable structures, and while we have been inspired by notable examples of architecture from around the world such as these, we are unique innovators on our own.
