BURO LUBBERS is a design studio for landscape architecture and urbanism. With ambition and good judgement our multidisciplinary team taps its creative potential for the spatial challenges of today and tomorrow.
BURO Genius Loci
Our strategy? Linking projects, combining solutions and uniting interests. We do this by fully mastering the genius loci, the identity of the place. Natural circumstances, urban structures as well as cultural history inspire us to create a new spatial plan that is specific to its location. We also ensure that vegetation, water, buildings, infrastructure and program reinforce each other. At the same time we listen to citizens, governments and businesses and translate their interests into the plan. Together with the commissioner, we optimize the various goals of the assignment. In doing so, step by step we create a plan that unites spatial, social, economic and ecological opportunities on common ground.
BURO Ecological Resonance
The landscape is a living system in constant transition. Soil, water, climate, flora and fauna influence one another and together determine the resilience of a place. At BURO LUBBERS we design from this understanding. We see ecological processes not as a condition, but as a guiding structure. By following the logic of the landscape and strengthening natural cycles, environments emerge that are future-proof and create value for both people and nature.
BURO Living Together
A place gains meaning through how it is used. People seek encounter, movement, rest or inspiration. Animals find food and shelter. Plants form the foundation of the ecosystem. At BURO LUBBERS we bring all these users together and create designs that are both socially and ecologically valuable. We study how people behave, how animals move through an area and how seasons shape experience. These insights are translated into places that invite, connect and support wellbeing.
Our BURO
BURO LUBBERS was founded in 1993 by founding partner Peter Lubbers and is today led together with partner Joeri Sowka. The office has grown into an experienced multidisciplinary studio of landscape architects, urban designers, architects, technical designers and visual creatives. From our office in Vught, the Netherlands, we work on a broad portfolio of projects across a wide range of scales, typologies and phases.
