Capacitive Urban Landscapes

What Capacitive Urban Landscapes does

Capacitive Urban Landscapes, operating as capattistaubach urbane Landschaften PartGmbB, is a Berlin-based landscape architecture and urban planning partnership founded in 2009. The firm delivers a comprehensive portfolio of open-space design services across eight project categories: public squares and marketplaces, campuses, parks and urban green spaces, gardens, urban renewal (Stadtumbau), office and commercial exteriors, cultural and educational facilities, and green roof design. Its proprietary design capabilities — supported by the partners' freelance registrations with the Architects Chamber Berlin — center on climate-resilient urban design (water management, heat mitigation, biodiversity), heritage-sensitive integration with Denkmalschutz-protected buildings and UNESCO World Heritage sites, and green infrastructure systems including green roofs and ecological corridors. Notable projects span 73-hectare urban districts (Elisabeth-Aue Berlin), a 124-hectare climate pilot district (Rothneusiedl Vienna), and recurring work for clients such as TRUMPF, Nike, Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, Stadt Wien, and Wissenschaftsstadt Darmstadt.

The firm operates as a professional services partnership under the German PartGmbB structure, with two named partners — Dott. Arch. Tancredi Capatti and Dipl.-Ing. Matthias Staubach — and 11–50 employees. Revenue is project-based and secured through two primary channels: competitive tendering for public-sector clients and direct commission for corporate and real estate developer clients. Pricing is non-public and determined per project, and the firm relies on competition wins, professional publications in journals such as Topscape and Garten und Landschaft, and recurring co-development partnerships with leading architectural practices (O&O Baukunst, Barkow Leibinger, David Chipperfield Architects, gmp) for business development. Geographic delivery is concentrated in Germany (12+ federal states) with selective international activity in Austria (Vienna), the United States (Chicago), and Italy (Lake Lugano), driven primarily by partner-firm engagements rather than dedicated foreign offices.
