Founded in 2005 and organized as an
international partnership, Crossboundaries
has offices in Beijing, Frankfurt and Berlin.
With staff originating from and trained in
Asia, Europe and North America we provide
unique spatial solutions deriving from
local cultural knowledge and transnational
expertise.
Crossboundaries contributes to a vital
built environment through architecture,
environmental design and urban
regeneration. They create enduring
architecture that often deals with
remarkable technical processes, yet always
has a pleasant material touch and human
atmosphere. The work of Crossboundaries
originates from a strong belief that design as
a process results in successful, operational
buildings. This approach is based on two
fundamental principles: research and
collaboration.
