What rabe landschaften | netzwerk studio urbane landschaften does

rabe landschaften is a Hamburg-based landscape architecture and urban research practice operating as a sole proprietorship (Einzelbüro) under founder Sabine Rabe, and a member of the Netzwerk Studio Urbane Landschaften Hamburg network. The firm employs approximately 22 team members of landscape architects, urban planners, architects, and supporting staff, supplemented by senior advisor Prof. Dr. Hille von Seggern.

The firm's service portfolio covers the full HOAI object planning phases (LPH 1-8), city and district planning, climate adaptation concepts (Klimaanpassungskonzepte), large-scale regional planning, child and youth participation processes, research projects, and exhibitions and publications. Underlying practice is professional consultancy grounded in domain expertise rather than proprietary technology or software products; the differentiator is integrated aesthetic, technical, and ecological design across urban, river, and regional landscapes.

The business model is fee-for-service professional consulting with project-based pricing governed by German HOAI fee regulations for public-sector work. Go-to-market is primarily sales-led through architectural competitions and direct engagement with German federal, state, and municipal government agencies, metropolitan regions (Metropolregion Hamburg, RVR), international building exhibitions (IBA Hamburg, IBA Basel), and foundations (Wüstenrot Stiftung, Montag Stiftung, Stiftung Lebensraum Elbe). Geographic reach spans Germany (Hamburg, Munich, Ruhr, Bonn, Braunschweig, Bremen) and Switzerland (Kanton Aargau, Basel); the Netherlands is referenced in operating geographies but not evidenced in named projects.
