Area of Expertise
Landscape
At Gottlieb Paludan Architects, we see landscape architecture as an essential factor in the development of both cities and the open countryside. Landscape architecture plays a central role in public health, urban life, biodiversity and climate adaptation, and we work to create solutions that balance functionality and aesthetics.
Competent landscape consulting in all project phases
We offer consulting in all project phases – from strategic planning and visionary analyses to design, supervision and follow-up. In many projects, the combination of construction, technology, environment and landscape is crucial, and we have extensive experience in bringing these elements together into a coherent whole. This requires interdisciplinary expertise, which we deliver through close collaboration between landscape architects, architects and urban planners within the company.
We work with everything from initial planning tasks such as local plans and environmental assessments to visualisations and public participation, ensuring that the solutions are meaningful and relevant. Our core competencies lie particularly in highly complex projects where technical solutions, safety and sustainability requirements must be met without compromising on design and functionality.
We work across a wide range of areas, from dense urban areas to open landscapes, developing tailor-made solutions that balance functionality with visual and ecological quality.
Urban
In urban environments, we create urban spaces that support city life, health and recreation. Our projects include urban development that prioritises mobility and climate adaptation, whether it involves designing squares, parks or larger infrastructure solutions such as bridges, metro and BRT systems. With a focus on sustainable integration, we work to create urban spaces that are both functional and aesthetically appealing. We place great emphasis on the interaction between architecture and the landscape to create dynamic and coherent solutions that appeal to both citizens and users.
Project example: VendersgadeSuburban
In suburban areas, we create landscapes where city and nature meet. We work with strategic solutions that combine recreational climate parks, nature restoration and large-scale terrain modelling. The projects often also involve the integration of technical facilities such as energy and utility landscapes, data centres and solar parks. For us, it is about creating coherence between functionality and biodiversity, and we always focus heavily on the visual and spatial qualities of the landscape. These solutions provide space for both people and wildlife and contribute to a greener overall picture.

In open landscapes, we work on large-scale projects where technical facilities and infrastructure must be integrated into the landscape. We carry out landscape analyses and impact assessments that form the basis for the balanced integration of projects. Our work includes data centres, P2X facilities and solar parks with recreational areas that prioritise nature restoration and biodiversity. We focus on solutions that can improve the experience of the open countryside for both people and nature, while preserving the aesthetic and ecological qualities of the landscape.
Project example: Solrødgård Climate and Environmental ParkSustainability and aesthetics
We believe that landscape architecture should make a difference – not only for the surroundings, but also for future generations. Sustainability is central to our work, whether we are developing urban spaces or working with large infrastructure projects in the open countryside. Visual quality is an important factor, as aesthetic solutions help to create acceptance for projects and ensure their success.
We prioritise the design of climate-resilient solutions that promote biodiversity, and we seek to integrate the dynamic processes of the landscape into our designs. From urban development and mobility projects such as metro and BRT to utility landscapes and nature restoration, we create projects that are characterised by aesthetic quality and a deep respect for the environment in which they are located.
Our specialist knowledge within Landscape
At Gottlieb Paludan Architects, we possess a wide range of specialist competencies applied across diverse projects and fields of work. Within the landscape discipline, our expertise spans strategic planning, technical consultancy, aesthetic design, and regulatory processes.
From analysis to concrete action
In all our projects, we conduct thorough analyses to ensure that designs and solutions are tailored to the specific requirements of the site. This applies both in dense urban environments and in large open landscapes, where we work with landscape analyses, scenario assessments and the design of visual and recreational qualities.
For us, it is about creating landscapes and urban spaces that give something back – to people, society and nature. We believe that the landscape of the future will be both beautiful and functional, and we see it as our most important task to contribute positively to this development.
