In 2020, HYA completed the Memorial to Enslaved Laborers at the University of Virginia, a landscape installation dedicated to enslaved laborers. The memorial was spontaneously inaugurated as a gathering place for group and individual contemplation during the national protests against racialized violence in June 2020.

The firm's other work includes the 212 Stuart Street multi-family residential tower (Boston), the MIT Museum (Cambridge, Massachusetts), and Float Lab, a public art installation and floating laboratory on the Schuylkill River (Philadelphia).

Höweler+Yoon's projects range from cultural and institutional buildings, mixed-use residential and commercial buildings, to public spaces, interactive environments, and research projects.

In 2003, the firm was commissioned to design an interactive public art piece for the Athens 2004 Summer Olympics.^[3] They went on to design the Boston Society of Architects Headquarters, the Sean Collier Memorial at MIT,^[4] Sky Courts Exhibition Hall^[5] (Chengdu, China), and Swing Time.^[6] They are known for working across the domains of architecture, urban design, public space, immersive experience, and design strategy.

In 2012, Höweler+Yoon won the Audi Urban Future Award.^[7] Other notable awards include United States Artists Award in Architecture and Design in 2008, Architectural Record’s Design Vanguard Award in 2007, the Architecture League of New York’s Emerging Voices Award in 2007, and the Rome Prize in Design in 2005.
