Atelier Loidl Landschaftsarchitekten Berlin GmbH

What Atelier Loidl Landschaftsarchitekten Berlin GmbH does

Atelier Loidl Landschaftsarchitekten Berlin GmbH is a Berlin-based landscape architecture firm specializing in the design of large-scale public parks, urban green spaces, school and university campuses, waterfront promenades, and post-industrial site transformations. Founded by Prof. Hans Loidl, the firm is today owned and managed by four equal managing partners—Bernd Joosten (joined 1996, partner since 2004), Leonard Grosch (joined 2003, partner since 2006), Martin Schmitz (partner since 2013), and Felix Schwarz (partner since 2015)—and operates with approximately 21-30 professionals including project managers, competition team members, and support staff. The firm delivers comprehensive planning services across all work phases from competition entry through construction administration, using standard CAD, GIS, and 3D/BIM tools with no proprietary technology stack. Its portfolio spans 20+ documented projects including the 22-hectare Park am Gleisdreieck (Berlin), the 25-hectare Rheinpark Duisburg (€18M construction cost), Baakenpark in Hamburg's HafenCity (1.6 ha, €15M), Siegen's riverside 'Zu neuen Ufern' (€24M), FU-Campus Berlin, European School Munich, the TXL Urban Tech Republic on the former Tegel Airport, and ongoing international work in Zurich (Guggach), Bratislava, Shenzhen, Luxembourg, and Austria, with project construction costs ranging €4M-€26M.

The firm's revenue is generated through project-based professional services commissions, with fees negotiated on a per-project basis and no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Acquisition is overwhelmingly competition-led: the firm regularly wins first prizes in landscape architecture competitions across Germany, Switzerland, and other European countries, supplemented by direct commissions from public institutions, cities, and select private developers. The customer base is concentrated in the German public sector—including the Berlin Senate, Hamburg HafenCity, Cities of Siegen, Duisburg, Lindau, Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, and Leipzig—with educational institutions (European School Munich, Free University Berlin) as a secondary segment and private developers as a smaller tertiary segment. Atelier Loidl has won the German Landscape Architecture Award multiple times (2001, 2015, 2019, 2025) along with the Polis Award, the Bundespreis Stadtgrün (2024), the Bavarian Landscape Architecture Prize (2024), and was a finalist for the Mies-van-der-Rohe Award (2014) and the European Prize for Urban Public Space (2012), establishing it as a top-tier DACH landscape architecture practice.
