On 30th August, the new village square in Balzers, Liechtenstein, will open. After four years of planning and construction, the new square has been completed and is open to the public. Rows of lime and honey locust trees, pine groves, along with finely designed pavilions at the ends of the square, frame the open space in the centre. Long benches under the trees and the northern arbour flank the square, inviting the community to pause and enjoy the views of the square's centre, the village core, and the surrounding mountains. The square’s centre has been crafted with a refined concrete surface with pebble inlays, integrating the existing village fountain. Rhine gravel of different grain sizes is used as an aggregate in the concrete, made visible by grinding the top layer. The structure and colour of the gravel make the geological origins visible and create a link to the local history of the site. The square’s surface reflects the ever-changing weather conditions, with patterns that evolve from rays of sunlight or raindrops. The newly designed village square offers a versatile space for the residents of Balzers. From August 30th to September 1st, the opening of the new village square will be celebrated with festivities.

VOGT is an international landscape architecture firm, founded in Zurich (2000) with offices in Berlin, London and Paris.
Info
Nature is the subject matter and medium of the daily work of VOGT. Our work ranges from small-town squares to metropolitan parks. Based on the given brief and the specific context of the site, we develop concepts and establish interdisciplinary dialogues with architects, artists and planners. To us, designing is a collective act that involves many partners and is primarily to be understood as a process – starting from a paradigm by way of a physical working model and, finally, the built landscape intended as a model. The work of VOGT is therefore characterized by the dialogue established between the various disciplines and its close cooperation with artists. During the technical development of the project, concrete solutions mature and insights emerge, and realistic images – significant, present and true – materialise. Our commitment is focused on vegetation. In plants, life becomes visible and brings processes within our range of experience. VOGT Landschaftsarchitekten was founded in Zurich (2000) with offices in Berlin, London and Paris. Attached to the firm is, moreover, the VOGT Case Studio, as an interface between the practice and the theoretical and investigative studies. As a platform for exhibitions and debates, the Case Studio also is an instrument for the training and further education of the employees, who play a central role in the corporate culture of VOGT.

Book Launch Preannouncement "39 Garden Plans – Unusual Gardens for an Ordinary House" In the 1960s, Sørensen developed the 39 garden plans using the simple yet effective tool of variant studies. He thus created an offer for the imagination and realisation of gardens as needs-based open spaces, which simultaneously become atmospheric places that can be experienced in an artistic form of expression. The newly published garden plans are enriched by overview-like excerpts from Sørensen’s extensive oeuvre and design-strategic annotations by Günther Vogt. Particularly in times of increasing distinction between the private and the public spaces, they serve to analyse the open space type of the (urban) garden - even beyond the private sphere. These concepts are especially relevant today, addressing contemporary challenges such as individualisation, extreme weather events, digitisation, and privatisation, and countering the prevalent design uniformity and lack of social public spaces in European urban landscapes.

The first phase of the Helvetia Campus in Basel was recently completed. Though some work remains, one of the two gardens, the one in the inner area (garden courtyard) facing the private buildings, is now open to employees and the public. The deliberate spatial creation through soil modeling and thoughtful vegetation planting is already showing good results and is blossoming brightly in these early summer days. Considering legal and construction requirements, walkable areas have been partially unsealed to maximise the green space. In this design, we developed a layered plant composition with at least two-thirds of the selected plants being native species, which contributes to ecological richness and biodiversity.

1st prize competition entry "Süd-See Zug" with Christ & Gantenbein ! VOGT and Christ & Gantenbein win the competition for the redesign of the former site of the Zug Cantonal Hospital. The design preserves the existing hospital structures from the 1970s and 1980s and expands the urban layout through adaptive reuse measures. These extensions integrate a series of buildings designed around an inner courtyard, opening to a public square towards the lake, the "City Courtyard".

From the Zurich Civil Engineering Department (Tiefbauamt der Stadt Zürich), we were invited to carry out a pre-study for the redesign of the Poststrasse in Zurich. The current design of the area does not reflect its historical importance nor its role as a link between the new and old towns. At present, the street is heavily traffic-oriented, lined with parking spaces, and the overall arrangement appears unorganised. Furthermore, the northern pavement is very narrow and there is a high level of heat accumulation due to the lack of shade-providing trees. Based on analyses, the participation of an advisory group and with the help of a working model, we have examined the situation in depth. To address the value of the Poststrasse, the feasibility study proposes the following measures: The streetscape shall be designed in the form of a boulevard, inviting people to stroll and linger. For this purpose, parking spaces and deliveries should be minimised to overcome the separating effect.

On the 1st of June the new Grote Markt square will open in Groningen, the Netherlands. After three years of design and construction activities, the new square has been completed and is open to the public. The new square has been repaved with a continuous paving from facade to facade, it includes a large cluster of trees, new street furniture, lighting, and a multiple water features that double as play elements on warm days. All vehicular traffic and cycle parking has been removed from the square, which has been redesigned to be a pedestrian square that again is the very heart of the city. On Saturday, 1 June, there will be daylong festivities to celebrate the new square with music, poetry, and dance performance among many others. Our head of the London office, Martijn Slob, will attend the opening festivities and will present the design of the new square.

The refurbishment of Villa Rosau and its surrounding landscape park by Gigon/Guyer and VOGT was completed in 2021. The historical villa was originally constructed by the architect Ferdinand Stadler in 1845 for residential use. In the course of these extensive conservations and meeting the requirements, further developments were made. Following the client's initiative, these gems of books were released. One volume is about the premises and the second about Villa Rosau. As the publication is not yet available on the market, we are sharing some extracts from it. Please follow the link further details on the project: https://lnkd.in/ekM8yPgt #vogtlandschaftsarchitekten #vogtlandscape #casestudiovogt #typology #garden #landscapearchitecture #landscapedesign #zurich #historicsite #preservation #craftsmanship

As introduced in a previous post, here are some first impressions of recent research experiments by our Case Studio VOGT team to implement the drone as a digital tool in our design practice. In ongoing projects, we have already been able to use drones and photogrammetry in a beneficial and efficient way to survey and analyse sites and integrate the in-house generated visuals and data into our projects. An expertise that we intend to expand, as we achieve a more detailed understanding of the locations, beside their topography, also analyse the climatic situation based on thermal images and not least support communication with our customers. #vogtlandscape #vogtlandscapearchitects #vogtlandschaftsarchitekten #casestudiovogt #landscapearchitecture #landscapedesign #digital #technology #research #designpractice #drone #photogrammetry

In March 2024, the Senate of the city of Hamburg approved the Berliner Tor framework plan. This framework plan outlines a comprehensive future perspective for the approx. 50 hectares area around the transport hub and the neighbouring districts of St. Georg, Borgfelde and Hammerbrook. The framework plan, developed by ROBERTNEUN ARCHITEKTEN and VOGT Berlin, builds on the two existing major green axes: along the Alster-Bille-Elbe to the north-south and the Horner Geest to the east-west. These landscape axes intersect at the Berliner Tor. Key aspects of the plan include the preservation of existing trees, which are of particular high value for local temperature and ecosystem benefits, and the reduction of surface sealing to create space for flora and fauna, reduce the heat island effect and enables infiltration of rainwater. The now approved framework plan serves as a guideline for the future development of the area and prepares subsequent planning steps.
