What plandrei Landschaftsarchitektur GmbH does

plandrei Landschaftsarchitektur GmbH is a German landscape architecture firm headquartered in Erfurt, Thuringia, founded in 1999/2000 by Matthias Luz and Stefan Dittrich and operating as a GmbH (private limited company). The firm delivers object planning for outdoor facilities (Freianlagen), traffic facility planning, and landscape-related engineering structures, covering all HOAI service phases (LPH 1–9) from conceptual design through construction supervision. Its stated design philosophy emphasizes clarity, reduction, and contextual responsiveness to existing surroundings, with emphasis on innovative plant combinations and material deployments.

The firm serves public sector clients (German municipalities and federal/state institutions), real estate developers and housing companies, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions. Project acquisition runs through three channels: competitive tenders (Wettbewerbe), direct commissions, and longstanding interdisciplinary cooperation partnerships with regional architecture firms such as HKS Architekten, SAW Architekten, Schettler Architekten, pape+pape, ADOBE Architekten, and Ortmann Architekten, plus urban planners like Quaas Stadtplaner. The portfolio spans public parks, urban squares, residential quarters, healthcare grounds, school and university campuses, sports and event venues, and heritage landscapes, with geographically concentrated activity in Thuringia and selective projects across Saxony, Bavaria, Hesse, NRW, Lower Saxony, and Brandenburg.

Revenue is generated through HOAI-regulated fee-for-service arrangements on individual project commissions, typically multi-year in duration; no public pricing is disclosed. The firm has a 14-person team including four managing director partners (Luz, Dittrich, Schmager, Knigge), with Schmager added in March 2024 and Knigge in April 2025 as part of a planned generational transition. plandrei holds no patents, trademarks, or external funding, and has no software, AI, or platform technology layer — its sole deliverable is expert-led design and planning services.
