Binke Lenhardt has been practicing for about two decades working on diverse projects in Germany, Holland, the US and China.
Her approach to projects of any given nature and scale is always driven by the curiosity to examine and expand the designated programs so that they reach their highest and most community beneficial potentials. Binke follows the projects of the office all the way to realization, always with a keen attention to details and readiness to learn and improve on available technical solutions.

After studying and working in New York for 5 years, he returned to China in 2002 and as of today has an overall practice experience of about 20 years. Hao Dong is a chartered member of RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects).
Besides his extensive global and local experience on architectural and interior design, Hao’s interests center around bridging architecture and education by extending the creative thinking outside the traditional realm of the design practice. Hao is an active public speaker aiming to open dialogues and sharing his creative visions with clients, collaborators, and students through design events, workshops and curation, both within and outside the profession. He is driven by the goal of finding better and more future oriented solutions as well as asking better questions that design should be able to respond to.
Antje Voigt is co-founder and partner of the Frankfurt office of Crossboundaries, which was established together with Binke Lenhardt in 2012. She graduated from architecture in Germany and studied and practiced in the US, Spain and Switzerland. She is a registered architect in Germany and appointed member of the BDA (Association of German Architects).
In her previous research and teaching position at TU Brunswick she investigated industrial buildings and during the course of about 20 years of practicing, she developed a core strength in feasibility studies, programming, moderation processes and the generation of design and planning manuals, believing that a profound analysis of given limitations opens up great opportunities for future solutions. Antje is an advocate for a participatory approach to design and she works actively with many different disciplines and institutions to make sure the solutions given by design are a precise answer to users’ needs.
