Instead, the office in Boston, Massachusetts, founded in 2007, is responsible for projects in North America. In 2009, added another office in Munich.
Since 2005, the office operates as Behnisch Architekten. Names previously used reflected the respective partnerships, for example, Behnisch, Behnisch & Partner. The office is headed by Stefan Behnisch, together with the respective local partners, Robert Matthew Noblett in Boston, Robert Hösle in Munich and Stefan Rappold in Stuttgart. Together, the three offices employ more than 90 employees.
