Expertise
We love what we do.
At Sowen, we are in love with our work.
We imagine, design, and build spaces for life and experience : offices, hotels, restaurants, retail, education and more.
Places that bring people together, spark inspiration, and leave a lasting mark.
We support our clients at 360°, from strategic thinking to final delivery, crafting tailor-made projects designed to be functional, sustainable and impactful. A single point of contact, a turnkey solution.
At Sowen, we see space as a whole.
Our teams oversee every stage of the process :
- Consulting & programming : vision, strategy, positioning.
- Concept & identity : shaping a strong sense of place, telling a story.
- Architecture & design : creating inspiring, high-performing spaces.
- Construction : precise execution, on time and on budget.
- Furniture & decoration : sourcing the finest pieces, artisans and makers across workplace, hospitality and residential sectors.
Consulting
Think bigger, design better
Because a project doesn’t start with blueprints, it starts with a vision.
Before we draw, we help our clients shape theirs : building an identity, defining a positioning, and creating strong differentiation.
Each project is a field for exploration where brand strategy, user experience and storytelling converge to create a unique space.
Programming
Our clients know what they want… even if they don’t always know how to express it. That’s where we come in. How do you blend the codes of workplace, hospitality, education and retail ? Through strategic workshops, we help structure their vision, refine their needs, and imagine a space that adapts to them. Flexibility, hybridisation, innovation : every choice is intentional, designed to let the space evolve with its uses.
Change Management
A new space is an intimate revolution, a routine to reinvent, landmarks to rebuild. It takes time, dialogue, and tailor-made solutions. Faire adhérer plutôt qu’imposer, embarquer plutôt que contraindre. Gaining buy-in rather than imposing, engaging rather than forcing. Aligning visions, overcoming resistance, turning the unknown into the obvious. Because a successful place is one where everyone eventually wonders how they ever lived without it.
For the global leader in logistics real estate, Sowen designed an office tailored to new ways of working—hybrid and flexible. Co-design workshops with employees gave rise to a workspace that fosters both collaboration and conviviality.

Concept & Identity
What if your walls could tell your story?
Spoiler alert : they can.
Each projet starts with a creative thread. An idea, an intention, an identity.
Our mission ? To translate it into space, giving it depth, meaning, and character.
Offices, hospitality, education, retail… A place is more than its function. It must leave a mark, embody a vision and resonate with those who experience it.
- Asserting a string visuel identity : every detail matters. Signage, finishes, materials, lighting… Everything that makes a space recognizable and unique.
- Giving space meaning : an architectural storytelling approach that informs every choice and shapes the entire project.
- Designing the experience : imagining a journey, an emotion, an interaction between the space and the people who inhabit it.
The concept is the backbone of the project. The execution is what makes it unforgettable.
For the French laboratory, Sowen designed flexible workspaces within the Carré Suffren. A concept inspired by natural cycles and the plant world, perfectly aligned with the identity of this family-run company.

Architecture & Design
We don’t just build a space, we build an experience.
Designing a space means thinking about the people who will live in, pass through it, return to it.
At Sowen, our architects always start there: with use. How we move, how we work, how we breathe. Their approach goes beyond style, it’s about pushing things further, seeking beauty, streamlining flow. And when a constraint arises, they use it, as a lever, never a limitation.
A Sowen project strikes a balance between creativity and precision, vision and execution. Here, every space is designed to adapt to the people who will inhabit it. Volumes interact, materials carry meaning, light shapes emotion. Far from fleeting trends, we design places that leave a mark and stand the test of time.
The client identity is at the heart of our work. We don’t project a style, we shape an experience. Through sustainable materials, intelligent design, and uncompromising standards, every Sowen project finds its own clarity. That’s our signature.
For the French leader in digital education, Sowen designed the experiential spaces of a new campus dedicated to the future of learning. A hybrid environment, blending multiple uses for diverse audiences, a place people want to come to, and come back to.

Construction
Seamless, stress-free.
A project starts with a vision. But without flawless execution, it remains just an idea.
At Sowen, every site is managed with the same level of commitment : precision, anticipation, control, excellence. From project management to final delivery, every step is handled with care to ensure a seamless result.
From the first sketch to the final screw, we take care of everything. Technical audits, site management, move-in coordination, final handover, we handle the execution so you can move forward with peace of mind. As a general contractor, we commit to fixed prices, respected deadlines, and uncompromising quality. No surprises, no guesswork.
And because building also means taking responsibility, we carefully select our manufacturers and partners based on a strict ethical charter, integrate eco-friendly materials, and promote a circular economy. Thoughtful choices, for spaces that combine performance with controlled impact.
For the family-owned group, both telecom operator and investor, Sowen redesigned the spaces within the Trinity Tower at La Défense. A hybrid environment, open to the outside world. And a true architectural challenge.

Furniture & Decoration
The moment everything changes.
Where a space stops being a construction site and becomes a place where you want to settle, create, and connect.
The right furniture? The kind that makes you want to stay five minutes longer, then ten, then… well, you get the idea. The right decor? The one that sets the mood, tells a story, and makes you remember the place without quite knowing why.
At Sowen, we don’t just create beauty. We create beauty that lasts, lives, and stands the test of time.
Hospitality, dining, offices : each project has its own needs, uses, and materials. You don’t choose the same chair for a luxury hotel and a startup, nor lay the same carpet for a law firm and a coworking space. We select, source, test, and validate, working with the best craftsmen, the best manufacturers, and holding a real commitment to environmental impact.
And yes, we’ll go all the way to the last green plant. Because, let’s be honest: a space without plants is like a mojito without mint. 🍃
For this B-Corp certified company, Sowen worked with a carefully selected group of eco-responsible suppliers, both for fabrics and furniture. The presence of greenery in the spaces contributes to conviviality and the quality of interactions.
