Thing Brandt Landskab

What Thing Brandt Landskab does

Thing Brandt Landskab Aps is a Copenhagen-based landscape architecture consultancy founded in 2012 by Marie Thing and Kathrine Brandt. The firm delivers full-lifecycle professional services spanning concept development, citizen participation, sketch design, detailed engineering, and construction supervision. Its portfolio of more than 70 completed projects covers urban public spaces, parks, residential developments, schools, healthcare facilities, and climate-adaptation initiatives, executed primarily in Denmark with select international engagements in Sweden and Iceland. The 23-person team is led by Managing Director Vibeke Lydolph Lindblad alongside the two co-founders and Associate Partner Signe Westergaard.

The firm's core technical differentiation centers on LAR (Lokal Afledning af Regnvand, or local rainwater drainage) and climate adaptation, supported by deep experience in user-involvement methodology and community engagement. Revenue is generated through project-based professional fees from a client base anchored by Danish municipalities (including seven documented Københavns Kommune projects), social housing associations such as Boligforeningen VIBO, educational institutions (CBS, DTU, RUC), and private developers including Ikano Bolig and Heimstaden. The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on architectural competitions, public procurement tenders, and direct commissioning. The firm has also begun productizing its design IP, launching the Nordhavn Cykelstage cast-iron bicycle parking system distributed via channel partner GH Form.

Strategic partnerships with established architecture practices—SLETH and COBE on the Århusgadekvarteret master plan in Nordhavn, and White Arkitekter on the Hasle Havnebad competition—extend the firm's reach into large-scale urban development pipelines beyond its standalone capacity. The firm is professionally accredited through membership in Danske Landskabsarkitekter and Danske Arkitektvirksomheder, and was shortlisted at the 2018 World Architecture Festival in the Education Future Project category for the TEC H.C. Ørsted Gymnasium. Ownership is founder- and partner-held with no external investors, parent entity, or disclosed funding.
