From Vision to Value – Your Leading Experts in Consulting Solutions

Connecting people, spaces and technologies

How do we create working environments that foster collaboration, innovation and well-being?


Today, working environments are far more than just offices. They are strategic tools for culture, productivity and transformation. Together with its clients, Drees & Sommer SE designs user experiences that inspire people and ensure organisations are fit for the future.

Advising on, implementing or offering both sustainable, innovative and cost-effective solutions for the real estate, infrastructure and industry sectors from a single source – that is what Drees & Sommer SE stands for.

Since its foundation in 1970, the partner-led consultancy has established itself as a pioneer in sustainability and a driving force behind digitalisation. Today, more than 6,500 employees at over 80 locations worldwide are working to create a future worth living in and to reconcile apparent contradictions: tradition and the future, economy and ecology, the analogue and the digital, as well as efficiency and wellbeing.

Sustainable working environments are not created by physical spaces alone

Organisations face the challenge of effectively integrating people, workplaces and technologies. This involves far more than just floor space or equipment. The focus is on identity, collaboration, performance and culture.

With interdisciplinary teams, Drees & Sommer supports companies, universities and public institutions in developing holistic working environments – from strategy through design to successful implementation.

In doing so, Drees & Sommer supports spatial and digital transformation with a consistent focus on the dimensions of People, Places & Technology. This creates environments that are efficient, cost-effective and emotionally engaging – and remain relevant in the long term.

User-Centric Solutions: Connecting People, Places and Technologies

People: Work environments are developed with people in mind. The focus is on acceptance, participation and the user experience.

Places: Spaces are designed to foster collaboration, create a sense of identity and respond flexibly to change.

Technology: Digital solutions are integrated in such a way as to bring about lasting improvements in collaboration, comfort and efficiency.

In the dialogue on the future of work
At the Work Culture Festival, Drees & Sommer is contributing its expertise in workplace strategy, transformation, digitalisation and change management.
Together with experts, companies and institutions, the festival will explore how to create working environments that bring people together, foster innovation and ensure long-term success.
