We are an international team that draws a clear advantage from differences. Whether nationality, age or experience, each and every individual helps to shape CROSS as an architecture firm.

Diversity is our strength - on a personal level, but also in the design of visionary, pragmatic architecture.

Founded in early 2016, CROSS is a Dutch-German architectural studio with offices in Aachen, Köln and Amsterdam.  

With mixed DNA, we see ourselves as visionary pragmatists. Thriving in the creative tension between the experimental spirit of Dutch design and the precision of German craftsmanship.  

By partnering with progressive clients, we take pride in finding creative solutions to relevant challenges. Because every project brings a new field of study to challenge what we know. Whether private or public. Institutional or infrastructural.  

We pursue an openly interdisciplinary process. Uncovering the hidden potential of each project through careful listening, understanding and collaboration. Bringing together diverse expertise and perspectives, united by a shared belief to realise new and inspiring places.
