The success of the Querencia project stems from the synergy between a visionary investor committed to constant improvement and an architectural team dedicated to innovation and leadership in design. This collaboration has produced a project that not only elevates standards in its region but also sets a new benchmark for design excellence across the island.

Querencia addresses multiple layers of contextual sensitivity, integrating the historical quarry site, Mediterranean climate, user demographics, and seafront location into every design decision. The result is not just a structure with form but one with deep character, rooted in its environment. The design reinterprets the negative cubic voids of the quarry into the façade's dynamic balcony forms, merging natural inspiration with architectural expression.

The building’s terraced massing challenges the dominant prismatic high-rise typology of the region. This approach creates over 30 unique penthouses, each with expansive terraces and private pools, while also promoting passive climate control. The cantilevered balconies offer shade in summer and maximize solar gain in winter—enhancing energy efficiency and occupant comfort.

One of the project’s most striking achievements is the exceptional ratio of social and commercial amenities to residential space. Spread across the ground-level shopping arcade and the first basement (housing indoor pool, spa, gym, and conference areas), these facilities exceed market norms. While this may initially appear commercially irrational, the developer’s strategic buyer targeting and emphasis on quality transformed it into a highly profitable venture.

Querencia’s success proves that design-driven development can be both visionary and viable. It demonstrates that thoughtful architecture can enhance lifestyles, support sustainability, and outperform conventional models in both quality and return on investment. It stands as a design manifesto, inspiring future developments across the region to rethink the possibilities of architectural form, environmental responsiveness, and community-centered planning.
