Jouin Manku is the encounter between French designer Patrick Jouin and Canadian architect Sanjit Manku. Since 2006, our studio has been exploring the relationship between people, space, and emotion.
We erase the boundaries between architecture, interiors, and design. Why? Because a true experience knows no limits—it is defined by authenticity and creativity. Our mission: to bring the extraordinary to life, turning the most ambitious dreams into reality.
Our signature lies in the delicate balance between purity and wonder. We craft private and commercial spaces that resonate with these two dimensions. Weaving connections between past and future, engaging in a sensitive dialogue with our clients, pushing boundaries—this is what drives us. Each project is designed as a creative shock, a sensory revelation. An emotion, a surprise, a suspended moment—a memory in the making.
Based in Paris, our studio brings together a team of around fifty talents and operates worldwide. From transforming Montparnasse station in Paris to designing the new Van Cleef & Arpels Maison in Seoul, and the iconic renovation of La Mamounia in Marrakech, we shape spaces that leave a lasting impression and stand the test of time.
Studio
DIRECTORS
Backed by Jacques Goubin since 2016, Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku now head a team of 50 architects, interior architects and designers. They orchestrate their talents to create exceptional spaces filled with just the right touch, but even more so to transcribe atmospheres and create emotions.
Directors play an essential role in the development and quality of each project. Working with teams, craftsmen and other stakeholders, they ensure that the architectural concepts, interior architecture and design envisioned are put into practice.

STUDIO LIFE
Discover Patrick Jouin iD
One meeting, two studios
Patrick Jouin founded his design and urban design studio in 1998. He has worked with a wide range of companies, such as Ligne Roset, Cassina, Fermob and Kartell, and on projects for public space and transport. Becoming increasingly involved in architecture and interior architecture, an architect was needed to complete the team; it was at this moment that the chance encounter came with Sanjit Manku, a Canadian architect travelling through Europe. Chance, a friend in common and a shared language – drawing – brought them quickly together. Their friendship was established and they decided to work together.
A few years later, in 2006, they officially founded Jouin Manku to work together on architecture and interior architecture. Today, the two studios continue to evolve in tandem, Jouin Manku maintaining its design approach in architectural projects, while Patrick Jouin iD reveals an architectural vein in its creations.
