Sustainable was yesterday — regenerative is the future!
We have been designing innovative, climate-positive, circular and resilient cities for over 20 years.
Our focus is on building in existing contexts and implementing the principles of the sponge city.
Vibrant spaces that strengthen the community and shape the future are the goal of our integrated planning.
APPROACH
The essence of our design philosophy is based on the idea of designing projects not for their own glory, but for the people who will dwell and interact in the open spaces we design. By taking the approach of first putting the project into dialogue with its surrounding context and allowing it to unfold in that interaction, we strive to design open spaces that not only serve their purpose, but raise the quality of life of those who use them in a substantial way. For us, sustainability is not just a word, but an attitude that requires constant, sensitive consideration and complex planning.


SUSTAINABILITY
The pursuit of quality of life and fulfillment is at the core of our guiding principles and is rooted in the expression of comprehensive and sustainable design. The key factor is not only the moment of completion, but especially the impact of the project over the course of time. Doing it justice, we set in each project personalized accents that are intended to create an increase in value. In addition to social sustainability, we also see nature and culture as partners in our work. We see it as our responsibility to precisely define the individual role as well as the relationship between nature and culture in each project.

In the office



CREATE SOMETHING TOGETHER
The guiding idea of our teamwork in the landscape architecture office includes collective creation. We do not act alone, but see ourselves as part of an overall structure in which we share a pen with the client, planning partners and responsible agencies. This symbiotic dynamic enables us to work together, to combine our expertise and thus to achieve coherent results. Our daily office life is characterized by discursive and equal processes. The development of ideas, the exchange of opinions and the struggle for the best solutions are essential elements of our daily work. A non-hierarchical distribution of discursive power makes it possible to exploit creative potential and develop multi-layered approaches.
