Nomination for the German Landscape Architecture Award 2025
With our project for the old Bonames airfield in Frankfurt am Main, we have been nominated for the German Landscape Architecture Award 2025 in the category ‘Maturity Test - Projects, 20 years and older’!
The expert judges nominated a total of 35 projects out of 140 entries, which can now continue to hope for the coveted awards in nine categories. We are delighted about this recognition and are looking forward to the final decision on 11 April 2025!
The old Bonames airfield is a prime example of the sustainable transformation of a historically characterised area into a valuable natural and recreational space. For over 20 years, the site has been developing into a nature park through the natural process of succession, combining landscape, history and urban greenery in a special way!

g+ magazine for the green sector
Our project for the open spaces of the Reinhard Ernst Museum in Wiesbaden was featured in the latest issue of g+ magazine! In the article, the Swiss trade journal focuses on the design and functional aspects of the project, which were intended to create a harmonious connection between architecture and landscape. Further accents are set by the high-quality natural stone surfaces, the harmonised planting and various open space elements.
The main idea was to surround the museum with a green frame. Natural stone paving dominates in front of the building, while a Japanese fan maple and a steel sculpture form the centrepiece in the inner courtyard. The large terrace of the museum café invites visitors to linger with numerous seats, while climate-resistant trees and shrubs characterise the planting. The open space concept is complemented by bicycle parking spaces, benches and atmospheric lighting, which also sets the scene for the museum in the evening hours.

Completion of Fire department Titz
Update
In 2019, the construction of the new fire department and building yard building and the adjacent open spaces in the municipality of Titz was started with the laying of the foundation stone. This year, the building and its open spaces could be completed and inaugurated in september. Now the entrance to Titz is marked by an elongated building with a red-orange shiny facade.
The open spaces are mainly used for parking and turning facilities for the fire department and the building yard. The large areas of concrete block paving and asphalt are complemented by tree and shrub plantings along the perimeter of the site and bulk storage boxes to the north of the site. The tree planting is composed of preservation of existing trees as well as new plantings. ©GTL

Campeon – Infineon, Munich
Inspection
In this construction project, a complete small town was designed between 2001 and 2005, offering an office world for 7000 employees in the middle of a green meadow. Infineon's buildings are integrated into this spacious park with campus facilities. For the planting a mix of different high and low perennials and grasses was chosen, which are also beautiful in winter. ©GTL

Campus extension Faculty of Nursing and Health, Fulda University of Applied Sciences
Update
The project "Campus Extension Fulda", which we have been supervising since 2016, is in the construction phase. Currently, the floor including the guidance system for the blind is being laid. Before the paving work, the trees and equipment elements, including bicycle racks, have already been installed.
The campus courtyard and inner courtyard of the campus extension are characterised by a paving of two iridescent shades of grey, as well as a tree planting of 4 evergreen Pinus sylvestris. The pine tree is a recurring element on the entire university campus in Fulda. The courtyards are rounded off by high-quality furniture with long benches and integrated work tables, as well as striking perennial plantings mixed with ferns and grasses.

Bad Karlshafen
Update
The reconstruction of the harbor area in the historic planned town of Bad Karlshafen is slowly coming to an end. The part in front of the town hall is already finished and invites to stay. With regard to the surfaces, the Weser sandstone in small paving format from the existing structure was reused and gives the place its original character back. This is supplemented by a hydraulically bound surface layer under the groups of trees made of solitary lime trees and by large-format natural stone slabs made of Weser sandstone facing the water. Furthermore, elements such as bicycle racks and benches have been provided at various points along the harbor.
