Gipsformerei in Berlin. Archive of sculptures and replica templates. Our idea for the redesign of the outdoor facilities: to accompany the opulence of the exhibits with calm, simplicity and durability. As a congenial partner to the sculpture archive: a tree archive (arboretum). We are delighted about the competition recognition.
The municipality of Speichersdorf wants a vibrant town centre. Evaluation of our competition entry: "The work impresses with its clear spatial organisation of the new community park into a play forest, open meadows and an urban sports park, and with its precise use and development of existing spatial qualities."
A new university campus for medicine in Augsburg. For one thousand five hundred students. With a spacious urban promenade. Flowering roof gardens. A green landscape border. And generous gravel banks in the style of Augsburg's distinctive Lech and Wertach rivers.
We are also currently represented in the German-language magazine Stadt & Grün with our twin daycare centres in Edermünde. We are delighted that the children can now romp and learn in ‘Grüne Grifte’ and ‘Rote Besse’ - in rural daycare centres with a colourful identity.
We are delighted that our Leocampus project in Paderborn has been featured in the October issue of Garten + Landschaft as a place of faith. We are particularly proud of the contemplative inner courtyard of the seminary with its symbolic apple tree and rammed earth wall.
The urban oasis we designed in the KunstQuartier Göttingen has made it into the September issue of G+L magazine! The small, quiet garden offers 650 square metres of lush green space for contemplation in the midst of dense development. We think: Oases also work in the middle of cities.
Two previously missing federal states have recently been added to our map of Germany: In Saxony-Anhalt, we have been awarded the contract for a daycare centre in Stendal. And in Saxony's capital Leipzig, we have the honour of planning two new schools. All three new projects belong to our favourite category of open spaces for children.
You can find us on YouTube! Thanks to Mari Architecture for the opportunity to explain our way of working. This is our favourite moment: ‘If you insist too much on your ideas, you stop listening’ - and we're good at listening!’ And also: don't underestimate the landscape architects...
We began designing the garden at the Hessian State Representation in Berlin 18 years ago. Originally intended as a temporary transitional solution, one of our favourite projects is now celebrating its coming of age. And - thanks to good care - it has developed well. We look forward to another 18 years of transition.

SPL team in Hamburg
We saw a lot and enjoyed the projects built by our colleagues: Baakenpark and Kirchenpauerkai in particular, but also Lohsepark inspired and impressed us with their high design quality. We also enjoyed the ‘mountain path’, which we used to climb the newly opened Hamburg Bunker. And Planten un Bloomen was wonderful as always.
From drab to attractive: We are delighted that Garten + Landschaft has reported on our project in Gelsenkirchen, the Heinrich-König-Square. For a long time, the central square was primarily an oversized underground railway access point, a real ‘hole’. We have transformed it into an attractive urban space.
