SOSH Architects was founded in 1979 on the core conviction that quality design continually rewards the community, the client and the design team. The firm has steadily grown from a company of four partners, to its current size of approximately 50 professional and support personnel engaged in the execution of major design and architectural commissions worldwide.
The firm’s philosophy drives a design process that values exploration and the contributions of multiple voices consistent with our belief that the best design solutions are the result of thoughtful collaboration.
SOSH’s principals, Thomas J. Sykes, Thomas J. O’Connor, William A. Salerno and Nory Hazaveh, continue the commitment of personal involvement in each project. With offices in Atlantic City and New York, SOSH has established a worldwide reputation for master planning, architectural design, interior design and strong project management. SOSH’s success is based on the passion and purpose the firm brings to every design opportunity. SOSH challenges convention, explores options and generates the kind of unexpected solutions that are the hallmark of the practice.
In the past 10 years, SOSH Architects has had the opportunity to participate in several Native American hospitality projects in the Northeast, Southwest and Northwest. Past and current clients include the Mohegan Tribe and the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation in Connecticut; the Seneca Nation of Indians in Buffalo and Niagara Falls; the Seminole Nation of Indians in Florida; the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians and the 29 Palms Band of Mission Indians, both in Palm Springs; the Cachil Dehe Band of Wintun Indians in Sacramento; and the Gila River Indian Community in Phoenix. As an associate member of the National Indian Gaming Association, the firm has gained the understanding of the viability of Indian gaming as a means of economic development for tribal governments.
For three decades, SOSH Architects has had the opportunity to work on dozens of hospitality design projects. Ongoing or recently completed projects include Revel in Atlantic City, premiering in May 2012, several projects for the Seminole Hard Rock Casinos, the Town Center at Fantasy Spring Golf Resort and Spotlight Casino Resort Expansion in California. The success of the Spotlight 29 Casino and the collaboration that resulted in the property’s stunning design have been recognized by the Sarno Awards and received the First Prize for Casino Design in 2007.
