TREIBHAUS Landschaftsarchitektur

What TREIBHAUS Landschaftsarchitektur does

TREIBHAUS.LAND is an interdisciplinary landscape architecture and urban planning office founded in 2012 in Hamburg by Gerko Schröder, operating as a sole proprietorship (Einzelunternehmen) with a second office in Berlin and a team of approximately 25 staff across the two locations. The firm delivers services across the full HOAI Leistungsphasen 1–9 spectrum, spanning landscape and open-space design, urban and master planning, public space design, building and facade greening, climate-resilient green-blue infrastructure, rainwater management, and cooperative participation processes. Its core client base is German-speaking municipal public-sector bodies — cities, districts and state agencies in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and, since 2025, Hungary — supplemented by a smaller mix of private residential developers, housing companies and corporate real estate clients.

The firm competes almost exclusively through the public-procurement system, with the majority of revenue generated by winning städtebaulich-freiraumplanerischer Wettbewerbe (urban and landscape planning competitions) and kooperative Werkstattverfahren (cooperative workshop procedures), augmented by direct commissions and repeat work from established municipal clients. Pricing follows the German HOAI fee schedule tied to construction cost, with revenue recognized per project under full-scope LPH 1–9 contracts. Strategic partnerships with architecture firms — Teleinternetcafe, CityFörster, Coldefy, Spora, GWJ, Medium — function as a key go-to-market channel for accessing larger, multi-disciplinary urban transformation tenders that single-discipline landscape offices could not win independently.

The firm has accumulated more than twenty documented first-prize competition wins since 2010, including flagship projects such as the 244-hectare Rákosrendező masterplan in Budapest (2025), the 8.9-hectare Nordwestbahnhof site in Vienna (2025), the U5 Arenen metro station in Hamburg (2025), Berlin Haus der Statistik (2019), Munich Kreativquartier (2012), and Vienna Aspern Seepark (2010, realized 2015). Marketing is portfolio-driven, relying on the firm's website (treibhaus.land), competition announcements, and selective industry event participation such as EDGE Fest Budapest.
