Quina Grundhoefer Architects

At Quina Grundhoefer Architects, we pride ourselves on introducing innovation and creativity to each project, as demonstrated through our numerous local and state awards in architectural design and historic preservation. Our philosophy is centered around the idea that a building's distinctiveness is key to its success, taking into account the natural and man-made context of the place, its image, and the respect for this place over time and in history.

Our Philosophy

We believe that a building's distinctiveness is what sets it apart and earns it attention and respect. This distinctiveness is achieved by balancing functional, programmatic, and financial goals while considering the historic context of the site. Our approach ensures that each project is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and sustainable, making it a vital part of the community.

Our Awards

We have received numerous awards for our work, including local and state awards in architectural design and historic preservation. Some notable projects include the Voices of Pensacola Multi-cultural Center, Global Learning Academy Interiors, East Hill Animal Hospital, and the Old Escambia Courthouse Restoration, among others.

Our People

Our staff consists of talented professionals with a wide range of experience and expertise in architecture and interior design. Carter Quina, the firm's principal, has practiced architecture in Pensacola since 1984 and is known for his appreciation for the history of place and his commitment to building structures that will be preserved for generations to come. Daniel Grundhoefer, another principal, brings a wealth of experience in religious design and has developed a notion of space creation that inspires and speaks to the heart. Our team is dedicated to creating buildings that are not only beautiful but also functional and sustainable.
