Mahl Gebhard Concepts

What Mahl Gebhard Concepts does

Mahl Gebhard Concepts (legal name: mahl·gebhard·konzepte Landschaftsarchitekten BDLA Stadtplaner Partnerschaftsgesellschaft mbB) is a Munich-based landscape architecture and urban planning firm founded in 1986. The firm employs 48 professionals drawn from six disciplines — landscape architecture, landscape planning, environmental ecology, urban planning, architecture, and urban design — and operates as a partnership of six partners following a 2022 leadership transition. It delivers integrated design and planning services across landscape architecture, urban/landscape planning, climate adaptation concepts, design competition entries, and citizen participation processes.

The firm's core technology and deliverable set is professional services rather than software: design and planning for parks, public squares, residential developments, school and kindergarten outdoor environments, corporate campuses, and urban masterplans, with a specialized focus on climate-adapted open space and participatory planning. Its value proposition rests on the integration of ecological, architectural, and urban-design expertise within a single partnership structure, supported by a long-established BDLA-credentialed reputation in Bavaria. Notable commissions span the City of Munich (Bayernkaserne masterplan, Flussrunde participation formats, multiple schools and public spaces), DEVK headquarters in Cologne, Rosewood Hotel Munich, Swiss Life, Hilti, LMU Gaching, and various municipal school and postal-logistics projects.

The business model is project-based fee-for-service revenue generated through three primary channels: public-sector competitive tendering, design competitions, and direct commissions from private developers, corporates, and institutions. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per project scope. The customer base is diversified across public administration (the primary segment), private developers and corporations, and educational institutions, with active projects distributed across Bavaria and broader Germany through 2025–2026.
