Biography

Our story

The architecture studio of Xavier Chérrez-Bermejo and Raquel Cantera began its journey in Pamplona, Spain. Since then, it has gained recognition both nationally and internationally, receiving design awards in Spain and in the United States.

Since its beginnings, the Chérrez+Cantera studio has been committed to an architecture that responds to context, people, and the time in which it is built. Our trajectory has been forged through consistent professional practice, where scale and complexity have never been a limit. Over the years, the studio has consolidated its presence with projects developed in different regions, always maintaining a careful attention to detail and to the meaning of the project.

Our vision

We believe in an architecture that breathes the memory of the place and adapts to those who experience it. Our approach combines tradition and technology, craftsmanship and creativity, to respond to contemporary challenges without giving up beauty. We are committed to honest solutions, meaningful materials, and a vision that goes beyond form.
