Günther Vogt became internationally known through projects such as the outdoor space of the Tate Gallery of Modern Art , the open spaces around the Allianz Arena football stadium in Munich, the Masoala Hall in Zurich Zoo , but also through smaller projects such as the inner courtyard of the Greulich Hotel in Zurich or the Laban Dance Center in London.

The work of Vogt landscape architects is characterized by an intensive examination of the environment. The design on the model is characteristic of the way the office works, with the aim of moving the planners away from the bird's eye view of the floor plan and towards the three-dimensional, true perspective of the user.
