Project Team

Based in Barcelona, GCA Architects was founded in 1986 by Josep Juanpere and Antonio Puig. The company has worked on a variety of commercial projects including high-end hotels (Casa Fuster, Mandarin Oriental), designer boutiques and upmarket restaurants. Their work has taken them across the globe and can be seen in major European capitals including London, Paris, Lisbon and Brussels as well as in New York and Vancouver. In 2010 GCA launched its Asia base in Shanghai and the company is currently working on a number of new projects in Africa.

The architectural and interiors practice is renowned for its creativity, innovation and technical know-how. Each project is meticulously studied to ensure that its character and personality is showcased to the best of its potential.

This is reflected in the numerous awards and accolades that GCA has received including the top European Hotel Design Award for both Hotel Murmuri and Hotel Mirror in Barcelona.
