Fromm Landschaftsarchitekten

What Fromm Landschaftsarchitekten does

Stefan Fromm Landschaftsarchitekten is a founder-owned landscape architecture sole proprietorship established in 1990 and headquartered in Dettenhausen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The firm delivers professional landscape architecture and urban planning services under the German HOAI (Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure) fee framework, spanning object planning (Objektplanung), urban planning (städtebauliche Planungen), green space planning (Grünordnungsplanung), environmental reports, impact-offset assessments (Eingriffs-Ausgleichs-Bilanzierungen), landscape-ecological planning, expert opinions (Gutachten), and competition jury participation. Project scope ranges from private gardens to large-scale state garden exhibitions (Landesgartenschau) of 18-24 hectares.

The firm's primary client base is the German public sector — municipalities and city governments — supplemented by institutional clients (Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Handwerkskammer Reutlingen, Wilhelma Zoo Stuttgart) and a small number of private residential developers. Project acquisition is driven primarily by participation in competitive landscape architecture and urban planning tenders (Wettbewerbe), frequently winning first prizes, combined with direct commissions from public-sector clients. The firm maintains an ongoing partnership network with multiple architecture practices (notably Hähnig | Gemmeke, a+r Architekten, WICK + PARTNER, ArGe Architekten, Lieb + Lieb) to jointly bid multi-disciplinary competitions.

Revenue is generated entirely through project-based professional service fees under HOAI. The firm employs approximately 5-10 professionals and is led by founder Dipl.-Ing. Stefan Fromm (BDLA member since 1993), who holds teaching positions at Nürtingen-Geislingen and Stuttgart universities and serves as a competition judge and board member of Architektenkammergruppe Böblingen. The firm has accumulated 16+ regional awards over two decades, including multiple Staatspreis Baukultur Baden-Württemberg honors and the Hugo-Häring-Landespreis 2018, reinforcing its positioning in the Baden-Württemberg public-sector market.
