Vogt Landschaftsarchitekten Ag

What Vogt Landschaftsarchitekten Ag does

Vogt Landschaftsarchitekten AG is a privately held Swiss landscape architecture practice founded in 2000 by Günther Vogt in Zurich. The firm designs urban landscapes, public spaces, parks, and cultural environments for government bodies, corporations, cultural institutions, and developers, treating landscape as a cultural and ecological construct rather than a decorative surface. Its core methodology combines a "Wunderkammer" reference collection, geological site analysis, and scale-conscious design, and is supported by an integrated research arm — Case Studio VOGT — that collaborates with the Chair for Landscape Architecture at ETH Zurich held by the founder.

The firm operates from four European offices — Zurich (headquarters), London, Berlin, and Paris — and delivers work primarily through international design competitions and direct commissions, often in joint ventures with tier-1 architecture firms including Herzog & de Meuron, OMA, and 3XN. Named clients span the City of Hamburg, BMW, Siemens, Novartis, Capital Group, UCL, the National Gallery London, and Fondation Beyeler, with marquee projects such as Grasbrook in Hamburg, UCL East in London, the Allianz Arena in Munich, and the Tate Modern landscape. The firm publishes through Lars Müller Publishers and maintains an active academic, exhibition, and lecture program. Revenue is generated through professional services fees on a project basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed and no external funding or parent company relationships are evidenced in the source material.
