Barbara Dundes Arquitectura is a São Paulo–based studio renowned for its holistic, client-centered approach to both architecture and interior design. Led by founder Bárbara Dundes, the firm begins each project by uncovering the client’s personal narrative—translating individual tastes, lifestyles, and aspirations into a bespoke design framework. This emphasis on storytelling ensures that every space, from volumetric layouts to custom millwork and lighting details, reflects a seamless fusion of form and function.
Beyond concept and planning, the studio offers full turnkey delivery and on-site project management, overseeing budgets, schedules, and final styling down to curated art and accessories. Drawing on global inspirations—from Milan’s Salone del Mobile to CASACOR São Paulo—and grounding them in Brazilian context, Barbara Dundes Arquitectura consistently produces environments that feel both universally sophisticated and deeply authentic to their inhabitants.
