Services and Approach 

In our projects, we consistently strive to harness the full potential and unique qualities of each site. Our goal is to create exceptional projects that harmonize with the inherent conditions of the location. With an exploratory approach, we delve into various aspects such as blue-green corridors, preservation of existing habitats, analysis of soil conditions, and understanding biotopes, among others. Our focus is on preserving, enhancing, and interconnecting the natural green and blue features while establishing a resilient and diverse vegetation. Additionally, we seamlessly integrate new urban nature with other functions, ensuring that aesthetics and utility complement each other. By doing so, our goal is to contribute to the conservation of species diversity and the overall health of ecosystems.

It is an inherent reality that water surrounds us abundantly. As a result, our approach to rainwater management revolves around embracing water rather than resisting it. We consider the challenges presented as opportunities to develop adaptive solutions that actively welcome water into the urban landscape, rather than repelling it. Rainwater, in our view, is a valuable resource that enriches urban areas, infusing them with vibrancy and verdancy. Moreover, the water facilitates connectivity among residential zones, fosters social engagement, and enhances biodiversity. Drawing upon our extensive expertise in surface water management, we adeptly navigate the intricacies of rainwater across diverse scales and contexts. Over the years, we have honed our technical and aesthetic proficiency to create optimal solutions through collaborative efforts involving all stakeholders in our projects.

The safeguarding of coastal cities against the inevitable rise in sea levels and increasingly severe storm surges is of paramount importance. As we prepare for the challenges that lie ahead, we must focus on implementing adaptive protection strategies that can be continuously fine-tuned to address the imminent threats posed by rising sea levels, groundwater, and rainfall. In our efforts to adapt coastal cities to the changing climate, our development plans are carefully crafted to ensure they offer tangible benefits for both humans and the environment.
We strive to create innovative solutions that seamlessly integrate dynamic urban development with aesthetically pleasing designs. By doing so, we effectively transform the raw power of nature—often captivating and awe-inspiring—into immersive experiences with the water. Our aim is to translate this mesmerizing force into encounters that are both harmonious and captivating, harmonizing the urban environment with the captivating beauty of the natural world.

To ensure the sustainable utilization of a site's resources, it is crucial to meticulously register and evaluate the existing materials. By doing so, we can make informed and professionally supported decisions that prioritize conscious choices. In our extensive work with circular economy and material reuse across various projects, we view each project area as a valuable reservoir of materials.
During the initial screening phase, we diligently document and evaluate the site's materials, taking into account their quality and remaining lifespan. This comprehensive assessment encompasses not only vegetation, surfaces, and fixtures but also considers their contribution to the site's aesthetic appeal and experiential qualities. Additionally, we assess their inherent potential, ensuring that the distinctive qualities of the site can thrive in future projects, creating a seamless connection to the place and its historical context.

As landscape architects, we recognize the pivotal role our profession must play in reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions within the construction industry. At LYTT, we are driven by the ambition to incorporate Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) calculations into our landscape projects, seeking innovative ways to contribute to this collective endeavor. While landscape architects already make significant contributions in areas such as biodiversity, Low Impact Development (LID), rainwater management, coastal protection, and soil management, the impact of climate change and CO2 emissions in landscape projects remains relatively understudied.
Nonetheless, our objective is resolute, and we are committed to doing everything within our power to achieve it. By actively embracing LCA calculations, we aim to shed light on the carbon footprint of our landscape projects and uncover avenues for reducing CO2 emissions. This commitment reinforces our dedication to sustainable practices and ensures that landscape architecture becomes an influential force in combating climate change.

LYTT Architecture skaber byrum, der understøtter det store sociale og kulturelle potentiale, der ligger i vores fælles rum. Det er i øjenhøjde og i uderummene – på gaden, i gården, ved søen, på pladsen, ved cykelstativerne, i parken -, at vi kommer hinanden ved på en helt anden måde, end når vi færdes inden døre. Her er højere til loftet og bredere udsigt; her er dufte og farver, vind og vejr og muligheder for at etablere et aktiverende og inkluderende miljø, der tilbyder gode mødesteder på tværs af alder, køn og kulturelle tilhørsforhold. Rum, som byder inden for, og som er rare at opholde sig i året rundt.   

LYTT Architecture arbejder med byplanlægning, herunder strukturplanlægning, bebyggelsesplanlægning, bymidtetransformationer, masterplanlægning, lokalplanlægning og strategisk planlægning. Vi områdeløfter hele kvarterer og fortæller historier med vores design, så glemte steder får ny identitet og sammenhængskraft. Arbejdet udføres ofte for stat og kommuner, men også internationalt har LYTT Architecture haft stor succes. Vi har således også solid erfaring med by- og masterplanlægning i Asien, Mellemøsten, Baltikum og Skandinavien som en del af brede internationale teams. 

LYTT Architecture arbejder helhedsorienteret i feltet mellem natur og design. Vores projekter spænder fra landskabsplanlægning i stor skala til mindre landskabsopgaver med udformning af friarealer, parker, stier og pladser. Belægning, beplantning, terrænudformning og belysning sammentænkes for at skabe stemningsfulde, sansefyldte og funktionelle uderum og landskaber, der skaber merværdi i øjenhøjde med brugerne. Vi arbejder stedsbevidst ud fra eksisterende forhold; et områdes særlige kvaliteter, karakter og potentiale, herunder miljø, kulturhistorie, rummenes skala og menneskelige behov.

LYTTs tilgang til steder og mennesker ligger i vores navn: Vi lytter, før vi mener noget. Det er vores oplevelse, at den meningsfulde udvikling af byer, byområder- og mere lokale samfund sker, når flere perspektiver får lov til at se hinanden i øjnene. Vores hovedmission er altid at skabe en varig fysisk forandring af høj æstetik og kvalitet, både for mennesker og natur. Men vi gør os også umage med at gøre rejsen derhen både læringsrig og interessant at være en del af. At udvikle byer er en samarbejdsdisciplin. Derfor er det altid vores intention at aktivere nysgerrigheden og optimismen i alle involverede. For når vi åbner et projekt med lysten til at lære nyt og forstå hinandens ståsteder, bliver resultatet bare bedre, mere sammenhængende og mere robust. Vi har stor respekt for de fællesskaber, indsigter og behov, vi ved findes i de byer og steder, vi involveres i – og vi ønsker kun at gøre det hele stærkere. Det er derfor, vi ser processen hen til den fysiske forandring, som en helt nødvendig del af løsningen. 

LYTT Architecture har stor erfaring med kulturarvsprojekter; fra rekonstruktion af historiske anlæg til revitalisering og omdannelses af kulturhistoriske pladser. Som altid er det med udgangspunkt i stedets særlige præmisser – dets potentialer og kvaliteter – vi går til en opgave for at sikre stedets værdighed. Gennem grundig research opnår vi unikke og vigtige indsigter, som er helt afgørende for et vellykket projekt, hvor respekten for det oprindelige er bevaret. LYTT Architectures omfattende erfaring med aktivering og aktualisering af bevaringsværdige kulturmiljøer kommer således alle kulturarvsopgaver til gode.
