Planstatt Senner

What Planstatt Senner does

Planstatt Senner GmbH is a privately held German landscape architecture, environmental planning, and urban development firm founded in 1987 by Johann Senner as a one-person operation in Überlingen, Germany. The firm today operates from four German offices (Überlingen headquarters, Stuttgart, Munich, and Berlin) with Asian partner offices supporting international work, employing approximately 60 staff from 10 nationalities across 10 professional disciplines. Its service portfolio is organized into four integrated core areas: Landschaftsarchitektur (landscape architecture), Umweltplanung (environmental planning including environmental impact assessments, Natura 2000 measures, and renewable energy concepts), Stadtentwicklung (urban development with citizen participation processes), and the dedicated Klima – Regenwasser – Baumhaine department (climate adaptation, sponge city/blue-green infrastructure, and tree-grove planning). Technical differentiation rests on proprietary application of drone-based photogrammetric and thermographic surveying combined with ENVI-MET microclimatic simulation for evidence-based climate-resilient design.

Core offering

Planstatt Senner is a landscape architecture, environmental planning, urban development, and climate adaptation firm delivering full Leistungsphasen 1-8 services from preliminary studies through construction supervision. It designs green infrastructure, parks, public squares, climate-adapted streetscapes, sponge city (Schwammstadt) blue-green drainage systems, strategic tree groves (Klima-wirksame Baumhaine), and citizen participation processes. Engagements are won through public tenders, competitions, and direct commissions, primarily for German municipalities and government bodies, with select corporate and institutional clients.

Product overview

Planstatt Senner operates as a unified landscape architecture and environmental planning firm rather than a platform with modular products. The company offers four integrated core service areas: Landscape Architecture (Landschaftsarchitektur) for developing green infrastructure, parks, and public spaces; Environmental Planning (Umweltplanung) for sustainable development, environmental assessments, and renewable energy concepts; Urban Development (Stadtentwicklung) for sustainable city planning, citizen participation, and funding applications; and Climate-Rainwater-Tree Groves (Klima-Regenwasser-Baumhaine) for integrated climate adaptation and rainwater management. Additional offerings include climate adaptation concepts for municipalities and participation in architecture competitions. The firm's work emphasizes sponge city principles, blue-green infrastructure, biodiversity promotion, and climate-resilient design across all service areas.
