Core offering

STED by- og landskabsarkitekter is a multidisciplinary landscape architecture and urban planning studio that designs new public spaces and strengthens existing landscapes, urban spaces, masterplans, and strategic plans. The studio uses a site-specific "stedets dialekt" (Place's Dialect) methodology, integrating narrative-driven design, climate-adaptive water management, and reuse-based transformation to serve municipalities, government agencies, private developers, and healthcare institutions.

Product overview

STED By og Landskab is a multidisciplinary landscape architecture and urban planning studio that operates as a single, integrated service offering rather than a modular software platform. Their practice combines landscape architecture and urban planning expertise to create new public spaces and strengthen existing urban landscapes, masterplans, and strategic plans. The studio's portfolio includes diverse project types such as masterplans (helhedsplan), urban spaces (byrum), campus landscapes, public parks (bypark), wayfinding systems, waterfront developments, biodiversity gardens, residential courtyard revitalization, and destination development planning. They work across various scales from intimate courtyard gardens to regional destination planning. Since 2022, they have operated as part of Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects while maintaining their independent brand and professional environment.
