What duo architectes paysagistes / landschaftsarchitekt does

DUO architectes paysagistes / landschaftsarchitekt is a privately held Swiss landscape architecture and urban planning firm headquartered in Lausanne, operating across multiple Swiss cantons including Bern, Vaud, Zürich, Basel, Lucerne, and Fribourg. The firm provides professional landscape architecture services for public spaces, educational campuses, natural bathing facilities, parks, cemeteries, railway stations, urban renewal projects, and residential developments. Its underlying practice rests on human-led design expertise — site analysis, master planning, planting concept, and construction-phase supervision — delivered through participation in open and invited architectural competitions (Studienaufträge) and direct commissions, typically in collaboration with leading Swiss architecture firms such as akkurat bauatelier, FHV Architects, Nicolas de Courten Architectes, Rykart Architekten, von Ballmoos Partner, NYX Architectes, and FAZ architectes, alongside engineering specialists including Perenzia and Ecoscan.

The firm's revenue model is professional-services-based, with project fees negotiated per engagement rather than disclosed publicly. Customer segments are dominated by Swiss public-sector municipalities, cantonal governments, and institutional clients (schools, universities, railway operators, EMS), with secondary exposure to private developers. Recent recognition includes Prix SIA 2024 shortlisting (Riaz school), Atuprix Berner Baukultur (2019, Adelboden Freibad Gruebi), and Spezialpreis der Kantonalen Denkmalpflege Bern (2020). Operating geographies are flagged across Switzerland, China, Singapore, Germany, and France, though confirmed project activity is overwhelmingly domestic. No external funding, M&A, parent company, or headcount disclosures are available, and the firm appears to operate as a founder/partner-owned boutique studio with no public technology product, proprietary AI tooling, or app presence.
