CATTANEO | SCHÜPPEL urban desing

We are an office for urban planning and landscape architecture based in Germany and Italy, founded in 2011.



We understand urban planning and landscape architecture as disciplines that aim to conserve and optimize resources. In our role as planners, we see it as our task to first listen, interpret and clarify needs.



In our design process, we focus on simplicity and effectiveness. We plan and design with sustainability in mind. Our projects focus on nature and people. Wherever possible, we want the people we design for to be involved in the design process.



Identity is a priority for us. With our projects, we want to preserve or develop identity, give new value to spaces with their natural or cultural features, create living places that encourage people to make these spaces their own in their own way.



From private gardens and public open spaces such as squares and parks to strategic planning for residential neighborhoods and spatial-strategic concepts, we offer tailor-made projects at all levels. We cooperate with numerous other professionals and value direct and open communication. Our expertise in team and project management flows into all phases of work.



Sharing knowledge and learning from others is very important to us. We believe that it is important to be in constant exchange with professional colleagues from our own and neighboring disciplines, at events, through our involvement in the professional association and through cooperation with universities. We see education as a central theme of our professional development and inspiration.
