In addition to general program work for our national clients, Bowen also offers Prototype Design and Management Services. These prototype services include coordinating with clients as needed to complete the earliest set of documents, maintaining current prototype drawings and specifications, and organizing/tracking design updates throughout the life of the prototype version. Our use of Revit also allows us to retain design options for handed variants or feature alternates; which in turn affords for flexibility and quick modifications.

Shopping centers still hold a place in today’s ever changing retail economy. Trends evolve, and developers seek out new ways to attract visitors. The principal goal of a successful design remains the same: to create a central gathering space with a unified look and feel with the flexibility to highlight individual tenant identities. Whether you want to update your look, reinvent your space, or build a new facility from the ground up, Bowen has the experience to make your vision a reality.

Bowen works with developers to design exciting mixed-used/multi-family housing complexes. Adaptive re-use can transform unused mid- and high-rises into vibrant multi-family or mixed-use facilities. Bowen understands this process, and can support your project from conception through construction. These designs factor in demographics and local history, while looking forward to the community’s future growth.
