Barbara Dundes founded her architecture firm in 2011, shortly after graduating from the Centro Universitário Belas Artes in São Paulo. Soon after, she invited her husband, engineer Marcelo Gelschyn, to become a partner in the company and offer more complete construction services. The firm provides everything from design to construction management, creating houses, apartments and decorated apartments. Barbara's signature carpentry and metalwork solutions are her signature, as is her creative use of lighting. The architect made her CASACOR debut in 2022, when she won the Best Studio award from Veja São Paulo. She also participated in the 2023 and 2024 editions.
