DB Arquitetos - David Bastos

DB Arquitetos - David Bastos develops architecture and interiors under David Bastos. With contact references in Salvador and São Paulo, the studio connects environments, composition, and materials, providing a basis for studying relationships between interior spaces, outdoor areas, and the occupancy requirements of each particular project. The relationship between program, layout, and context is central when considering services of this kind: spatial decisions need to respond to planned activities, site characteristics, and the needs of people using the facilities.

In a design assignment, program, site, and patterns of use need to be considered together. Layouts require coordination of circulation, relationships between rooms, and opportunities within a site or existing building, distinguishing initial design decisions from the documentation and technical definition developed at later stages.

Reviewing the portfolio offers a starting point for connecting references with the needs of an assignment. Before establishing scope, it is useful to describe users, proposed spaces, and property constraints, distinguishing conceptual decisions from later stages of documentation and the technical coordination required for delivery.
