For Design Studios
Landscape architecture design & production support for European design studios
Landscape design, 3D/BIM, planting and technical documentation support from a Budapest-based landscape architecture studio with 24 years of landscape architecture experience.
Landscape architecture support for busy design teams
Design studios often need additional specialist capacity at specific moments: during concept development, design development, 3D coordination, tender preparation, construction documentation or before an important deadline.
Our studio provides this support as a practising landscape architecture office, not as a generic drafting provider. We understand how landscape design connects spatial concept, technical requirements, planting knowledge, site conditions, climate adaptation, maintenance, coordination and issue-ready documentation.
Based in Budapest, our team offers flexible Central European landscape architecture support for studios working across Europe.
Who we support
We support European design teams that need reliable landscape architecture capacity for a defined project phase, drawing package, model coordination task or deadline period. This is especially relevant for:
- Architecture studios with landscape components in their projects
- Landscape architecture offices facing temporary production peaks
- Urban design studios working on public realm or masterplanning assignments
- Design teams preparing tender or construction-stage documentation
- Studios needing 3D or BIM-aware landscape coordination
- Developers and consultant teams requiring structured landscape input
- Offices looking for flexible Central European design and production support
We are most useful where the design direction needs to be developed, tested, documented or coordinated with experienced landscape-specific judgement.

Why work with our studio
24 years of landscape architecture practice
Our Budapest-based studio has 24 years of landscape architecture experience. We understand the design and technical logic behind the drawings, models and documentation we produce.
Design partner, not just production capacity
We are a practising landscape architecture studio. Our support is informed by real project experience, not only CAD or modelling capacity.
Broad project experience
Public spaces, residential environments, institutional landscapes and urban projects where landscape design must respond to architecture, infrastructure, planting conditions, maintenance and everyday use.
CAD, 3D and BIM-aware workflows
The 4D team is used to structured drawing production, coordinated base files, clear layers, revisions, sheet organisation, 3D coordination and issue-ready documentation.
Practical planting knowledge
Planting design requires more than graphic layout. It requires understanding of plant behaviour, site conditions, long-term maintenance and climate realities.
Flexible Central European capacity
Based in Budapest, our studio can provide professional external landscape architecture support for European studios in a flexible, structured and cost-conscious way.
A reliable external partner, not a competing design office
When working with an external design and documentation partner, studios need clarity, discretion and predictable collaboration. Our studio works within the agreed project structure: we support the lead office, respect existing client relationships and handle shared project materials with care and confidentiality. Where required, we can also work under an NDA or agree project-based non-circumvention terms.
Design direction, client communication, drawing standards, model standards and approval processes remain clearly defined. The 4D Landscape Architecture team can work in the background, as part of your extended team or as a specialist landscape architecture partner for a defined project phase.
- Project-based scope definition
- Agreed drawing, model and documentation standards
- Clear file exchange and revision process
- Regular progress updates
- Confidential handling of project materials
- NDA if required
- Support behind the lead designer
- Respect for existing client relationships
The goal is to make your design and documentation process easier, not more complicated.
Selected project experience
4D Landscape Architecture has worked on a broad range of landscape architecture projects over 24 years — from urban public spaces to residential developments and complex multidisciplinary assignments. A selection:
Southern Tisza Bridge | Szeged
Landscape architecture for a new Tisza bridge and its urban connections — coordination with bridge and transport engineers, public realm design at infrastructure scale.
Törökbálint, Téglagyár Lake Residential Development
Landscape design for a lakeside residential development — masterplan-level open space concept, planting design and technical documentation for phased construction.
Népliget Landscape Architecture Ideas Competition
Competition entry for the renewal of Budapest's largest public park — strategic masterplanning and climate-adaptive landscape strategies.
Tihany-rév Public Passenger Harbour
Public realm design for the Lake Balaton ferry harbour — a heritage-sensitive setting combining visitor flows, hard landscape detailing and planting.
Tihany Private Garden
A terraced private garden above Lake Balaton — detailed planting design, natural stone detailing and close coordination with architects and builders.
How collaboration works
Initial project review
Send us a short project description, current design stage, expected deliverables, available files, model or drawing standards and deadline. Sample drawings, CAD/BIM standards or a marked-up task list are also welcome.
Scope definition
We agree on the exact support scope: project phase, design or documentation tasks, file formats, CAD/3D/BIM standards, communication process, milestones, deadline and estimated workload.
Design and production support
We work within the agreed structure and provide regular progress updates — from design development, 3D modelling and planting documentation to tender-stage drawing packages.
Review and revision
Your team remains in control of the design direction. We incorporate comments, refine the documentation and prepare the agreed package for delivery.
Recurring support where useful
If the collaboration works well, our studio can become a recurring external landscape architecture partner for future projects or deadline-heavy periods.
Discuss your project with Andrea
