We connect people, spaces and technologies.
How do we create working environments that foster collaboration, innovation and well-being?

From Vision to Value – Your Leading Experts in Consulting Solutions

Today, working environments are far more than just offices. They are strategic tools for culture, productivity and transformation. Together with our clients, we design user experiences that inspire people and prepare organisations for the future.

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

Since its foundation in 1970, the partner-led consultancy has established itself as a pioneer in sustainability and a driving force behind digitalisation. Today, around 6,500 employees at over 70 locations worldwide are working to create a future worth living in and to reconcile apparent contradictions: tradition and the future, economy and ecology, analogue and digital, efficiency and wellbeing.

Sustainable working environments are not created by physical spaces alone.

Organisations face the challenge of meaningfully connecting people, workplaces and technologies. This involves far more than just floor space or equipment. It is about identity, collaboration, performance and culture.
With our interdisciplinary team, we support companies, universities and public institutions in developing holistic working environments – from strategy and design right through to successful implementation.

We shape 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, spaces and technologies.

People
: We design working environments from a people-centred perspective. Acceptance, participation and user experience are at the heart of what we do.
Places: We develop spaces that foster collaboration, create a sense of identity and respond flexibly to change.
Technology: We integrate digital solutions in a way that sustainably improves collaboration, comfort and efficiency.

In the dialogue on the future of work

At the Work Culture Festival, we contribute our expertise in workplace strategy, transformation, digitalisation and change management.
Together with experts, companies and institutions, we discuss how to create working environments that bring people together, foster innovation and ensure long-term success.
