Country Road Rhoden-Diemelstadt
Completion
The redesign of the through road in Rhoden involved the remodelling of two central squares. At the same time, new planting areas were created with selected perennial mixtures.
A spacious square was created in the area in front of the community centre, which is emphasised by new trees and shrubs. Access to the community centre now appears more spacious and is barrier-free. One section of the historic town wall was extended.
The Schützenplatz was also redesigned, giving the old ‘Kump’ a new look. Planting areas here are secured with sandstone walls. New furnishings and a water feature invite visitors to linger.

Multifunctional building Heilbronn
Completion
The entrance courtyard to the office building and the hall will have a uniform concrete paving slab covering with a slight play of colors. There is a gate in the middle between the buildings. The building façade is flanked by hornbeam columns and simultaneously expanding planting areas.
The “green staircase” provides a visual link between the office building and the hall. It is the main connection to the spacious green roof area with subsequent access to the parking garage. The staircase is given an inviting character by seating steps with wooden supports, horizontal tree locations intercepted by retaining walls with underplanting, a varied, swiveling pedestrian route and other lingering niches.
The green roof area is planted with umbrella-shaped overhanging solitary trees and a varied planting of grasses/perennials and shrubs. There are two terrace areas that serve as a place for staff to spend time during breaks.

Frankfurter Straße Kassel
Completion 1st construction phase
Over the past two years, possible tree locations for upgrading the public space on Frankfurter Strasse were identified in a first construction phase. The main difficulty here was finding suitable locations. Many cables are laid in the street and stretched across the road in the form of overhead lines.
In the first construction phase, 15 suitable locations were identified and appropriate trees and shrubs were planted. Care was taken to ensure that they were given the largest possible root space despite the many requirements (space requirements, winter road clearance, pedestrians and cyclists, signalling systems, etc.). Some of the tree pits were connected with so-called root trenches, which are not visible on the surface.
We recently visited the project to document their development and are satisfied: All the trees have grown well. Now we have to wait until their crowns continue to develop and provide shade on Frankfurter Strasse in the future.

Thiele Aue Bad Arolsen
Completion
After a long period of planning, our project in Bad Arolsen was officially opened on Friday!
We are very happy to be able to give the residents of the town access to the Thiele again. The newly designed natural space encloses the Thiele stream and forms a floodplain that offers play and recreation opportunities for all age groups. A new playground, a skate park, various recreational facilities and new tree plantings complete the design over a total length of 1.37 km.

Climate-friendly Forum Salzgitter
Completion
As part of this project, the centres of Salzgitter-Bad and Salzgitter-Lebenstedt were adapted to the current challenges posed by climate change. Climate-resilient trees were added to an area totalling 2,600 m2 , a water and mist feature was installed to lower the ambient temperature and drinking fountains were set up for refreshment in between. Another special feature are the innovative solar benches where smartphones can be charged or WLAN can be used. Small, green oases are intended to invite people to linger in the city centre and make it more attractive - entirely under the aspect of climate adaptation and improvement of the climate balance.

House of Youth Kassel
Inauguration of the forecourt
The Day of Urban Development took place at the weekend on our newly designed project. The curved noise barrier shades the square from the street, serves as a seating element at the same time and frames the stage area shaded with awnings.

Thiele-Aue Bad Arolsen
Update
The park has become a popular meeting place in Bad Arolsen and is well frequented by residents. Spring has arrived and transformed the vegetation into a lush green.
We now have to continue planning the second construction phase. The park will be extended over a length of 1000 meters in the previously inaccessible area of the Thiele floodplain, the Thiele will be renaturalized and a large playground will be built. We are looking forward to this exciting task.
