Brief description

Josemaria Churtichaga + Cayetana dela Quadra-Salcedo founded the firm ch+qs in Madrid in 1995. Their work has been awarded in several competitions, and they have been widely published in national and international magazines.

From its inception, ch+qs has designed, city councils, swimming pools, libraries, cultural centers, kiosks, cabins, houses, establishments in the Sahara for petroliferous companies, boats, furniture, books, typographies… in a deliberate rejection to the specialization, since we believe on "transfusions" between all the creative problems, independently of its nature and climbs. The work of ch+qs has also been honoured with numerous prizes and distinctions.
