ST raum a. Landschaftsarchitektur

What ST raum a. Landschaftsarchitektur does

ST raum a. Landschaftsarchitektur is a Berlin-based landscape architecture and urban open-space planning firm incorporated as ST raum a. Gesellschaft von Landschaftsarchitekten mbH. The firm (year founded 1991, incorporated in its current legal form in 2014, 11–50 employees) operates from a single headquarters in Berlin-Kreuzberg and is led by three Managing Directors (Geschäftsführer): Stefan Jäckel, Katrin Klingberg, and Tobias Micke. It is a privately held, independent practice with no external equity, venture, or private-equity backing. The firm delivers end-to-end landscape architecture services — concept development, design, and construction supervision — across public and private domains, with portfolio categories spanning art and culture, corporate campuses, embassies, gardens, garden festivals (Landesgartenschauen), parks, public spaces, residential, social infrastructure, sport and leisure, and competition entries.

The firm's underlying technology is professional design expertise in landscape architecture and urban planning, supported by established sustainability and design methodologies including Cradle to Cradle principles, sponge-city stormwater concepts, and animal-aided / biodiversity-promoting design. It is certified under the Planer am Bau quality management scheme and supervised by the Architektenkammer Berlin. Technology integrations are limited to standard website and marketing tools (WordPress, YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps, Matomo analytics) — there is no proprietary technology platform or AI/ML component. The business model is project-based professional services: revenue is earned through fees governed by the German HOAI (Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure) structure for landscape architecture services, acquired via public-sector VgV tenders, invited design competitions, and direct commissions. Customers are predominantly municipal and federal government clients (e.g., City of Freising, Stadt Halle, Umweltbundesamt Dessau, CISPA Helmholtz, Staatliche Museen), with private developers and corporations as a secondary segment. Projects are won in collaboration with tier-1 architecture partners such as sauerbruch hutton, Gewers & Pudewill, Snøhetta, GRAFT, NAK Architekten, KSG Architekten, Richter Musikowski, and raumwerk.

The firm is ranked 27th out of 2,600 German landscape architecture practices (Competitionline 2021) and holds a portfolio of high-credibility awards including the German Design Award, ICONIC Awards (German Design Council), MIPIM 'Best Russian Project', RIBA Award, BNB Gold, DGNB Silver, the Balthasar Neumann Prize, and the 2025 Preis für Baukultur from the European Metropolitan Region Munich. Geographic reach spans multiple German states plus Austria, Poland, and historical projects in Russia. The current pipeline — Freising city center (completed 2025), Schulzentrum Hammelburg (to 2027), Landesgartenschau Schärding (to 2025), Schloss Köthen (from 2025), and the ~200 million EUR Zukunftszentrum Halle federal commission (to 2030) — signals sustained activity through the decade.
