About

SOAP is Sorenson Office and Partners. At its core is a hands-on studio; around it, partners who change with each project: fabricators, artists, engineers, brands, friends, whoever the work needs.

We design spaces and the things that go in them: houses, interiors, shops, restaurants, exhibitions, installations, furniture, objects, and the occasional identity. Often we build them too, in-house or on site. We like odd-shaped problems, budgets that make us inventive, and details that reward a second look.

So far that has taken us to New York, Las Vegas, Melbourne, Seoul, and a small town in Portugal.
