Rehwaldt Landscape Architects

What Rehwaldt Landscape Architects does

Rehwaldt Landscape Architects is a privately held landscape architecture firm founded in 1993 by Till Rehwaldt and headquartered in Dresden, Germany. The firm designs parks, gardens, urban open spaces, green infrastructure, and water-sensitive urban environments for municipal governments, public authorities, healthcare and education institutions, and international garden show organizers across Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, Austria, China, and South Korea. The practice operates from four offices — Dresden (HQ), Berlin, Prague, and a wholly-owned Beijing subsidiary (REHWALDT LANDSCAPE PLANNING & DESIGN (BEIJING) CO., LTD) — with a team of 40+ designers, project leaders, and principals.

The firm's core product is fee-based professional services: site analysis, master planning, landscape design, and construction oversight delivered through project-based engagements, typically won via public tender or invited competition. Its technical stack is conventional for the profession — CAD, GIS, BIM, and visual simulation tools — with no disclosed proprietary technology. Notable technical specializations include green infrastructure and stormwater-sensitive urban design, evidenced by the 2013 DWA water award and the Guangzhou Panyu green infrastructure masterplan (2023). Founder Till Rehwaldt's tenure as BDLA President (2014–2022) and teaching roles at TU Berlin and Czech Technical University Prague anchor the firm's authority in German landscape planning standards.

The business model is project-based consulting: fees are negotiated per engagement, milestone-driven, and tied to publicly funded capital programs. Revenue visibility is driven by municipal budget cycles and competition win rates rather than recurring contracts. Recent strategic activity — Beijing subsidiary (2023), Seoul Garden Show Silver (2025), GPSC Samarkand (2026), and a World Bank green infrastructure handbook (2026) — indicates a deliberate shift from a Germany-centric practice toward a multi-jurisdiction consultancy serving both municipal clients and multilateral institutions.
