Our projects always start with a story

Characterised by the port industry, the Untere Werft forms a unique open space in Krefeld-Uerdingen. The currently inadequate connection and design mean that this potential remains largely unutilised. The redesign aims to make the site attractive, focusing on recreation and historical value.

With the redevelopment of the regional headquarter of North Rhine-Westphalia in Düsseldorf, a new and vibrant open space will connect surrounding green spaces and public areas, integrating flood protection and rainwater management for increased climate resilience.

With Katharinenhöfe, a new neighbourhood is being created in the heart of Alt-Willich, a small town in the wider Ruhr metropolitan area.

The existing secondary school named after Elsa Brändström in Rheine, near Cologne, is to be expanded to six trains and rebuilt on the site north of the Emsland Stadium. Connected by a continuous “play and sports belt” along the stadium circuit, the school and sports hall develop an urban unit, based on the competition design won by LAND Germany and JSWD Architekten.

As an example of Germany’s commitment to sustainability and its innovation in facing environmental issues, the German Garden at the EXPO 2019 in Beijing showcased the development of typical German landscapes under the motto “Seeding the Future”, combining modern technologies with traditional features.

Against the backdrop of a 2 km long noise barrier being built within the wider Duisburg area, the urban development gap between Neudorf, Bissingheim and Wedau is being closed on the former marshalling yard in Duisburg Wedau on an area of over 90 hectares. Thus, the Sechs-Seen-Platte recreational area and the Wedau sports forest will be connected and generate a wide range of leisure activities for residents and new residents of the future neighbourhoods.

LAND is planning the surroundings of the new headquarters of the Schwarz Group in Bad Friedrichshall, aiming at maximum greening, community enhancement and a sustainable concept for rainwater and irrigation, both for the large landscape frame around the campus and for the green centre between the buildings. Through the design, nature is made tangible at the workplace.
