Outside! Landscape Architecture Gottfried Butcher-Neder

The office OUTSIDE! Landscape Architects was founded in Hamburg in 1999. The office owner is the freelance landscape architect Gottfried Rzeźnik-Neder. It is located in Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg. The team consists of four colleagues and has extensive technical equipment at its disposal.



We are well settled in our new premises in the former administrative building of the "Palmin" works in Hamburg with its industrial area at Jaffestraße 6 and are always happy to welcome you.
What does architecture mean to us? From its Greek origins, architecture means the "first art" or the "first craft". It involves a creative act and thus combines aesthetics, design and craftsmanship.



"It is important to me that my employees and I have extensive practical experience! Anyone who has built something outdoors can accurately assess their creativity and use it wisely in planning." Gottfried Rzeźnik-Neder



The office's work focuses on property planning:

- Residential environment improvement measures in residential construction

- Exterior design for new buildings

- Public open spaces and play areas, parks and green corridors

- Play and leisure areas for all age groups

- Schools and daycare facilities



We pay particular attention to intensive tenant and public participation processes. Finding out about individual wishes and needs and taking them into account in the planning process as far as possible (financing, cost-effectiveness, spatial conditions) is NOT a contradiction to artistic freedom. If people are satisfied and our facilities still look appealing and are accepted years later, we have achieved our most important goal.



The aim of any planning is to recognize the potential of the location and to achieve a harmonious unity between the location and the users. "We don't plan for ourselves or to realize ourselves, but for those who experience and use the space every day!" We have all age groups in mind.



- BARRIER FREEDOM

is always a top priority for us. It's often just small details that make life harder or easier.

- RESCUE AREAS

The topic of escape routes and areas is also always present in our work and is integrated into our planning as inconspicuously as possible.

- DRAINAGE AND FLOODING

We have acquired special expertise in drainage (approval) planning and the preparation of flooding certificates. Clever planning of flow paths and rainwater retention can help prevent major damage. Fees for rainwater disposal, which are demanded in different amounts in municipalities and cities today, can be minimized. Intensive cooperation with architects and building services and their advice and specialist support is possible.



Play and exercise areas for all age groups are particularly fun for us. And sometimes - depending on the size of the project and the client's wishes - we work together with various artists to develop individual offers that are precisely tailored to the location. We develop and produce exciting movement parcours with different materials (sandstone, stainless steel, climbing nets, wood). When developing the play equipment and playscapes, particular attention is paid to promoting motor skills and providing haptic experiences in which group experience and individuality complement each other. We pay attention to DIN-compliant, stable, durable and low-maintenance designs.



Our many years of experience in planning and implementation, with creative and individual brainstorming, allow exciting adventure spaces to be created, with production and follow-up costs kept in mind during development. This ensures the best possible combination of cost security, functionality and special features as well as durability.
