dbA arquitectura is an architecture studio based in Castelo Branco, run by architects Alexandra Paisana Belo and Vítor Mingacho .
We develop architectural, rehabilitation, and urban planning projects , overseeing each process from initial studies and strategy definition to licensing and execution. We work with private clients, companies, and public entities in diverse contexts and scales, with a strong presence in the Beira Interior, Lisbon, and Alentejo regions .
Our practice begins with a special attention to the place, the territory, and the specific conditions of each project . We seek to understand what exists—the architecture, the landscape, the history, and the ways of inhabiting—in order to build contemporary, clear, and appropriate responses for each context.
