The creative housing designs created by David Baker Architects (DBA), who have created more than 15,000 residences in multi-family structures, are what make them most well-known. Deep community interaction has always been an important part of our methodology throughout our long expertise in both affordable and market-rate housing. Every project is founded on the opinions and suggestions of present and potential inhabitants, members of the community, and neighbors.
Each structure, whether it be a hotel, affordable housing, or a chapel, should react to the community it serves. I’ve combined that idea with our firm’s expertise in housing and community participation to create a fresh method of hotel design: Hospitality in the community.
If not done carefully, the rise of hotels and tourism in general can have major, detrimental effects on places. From a limited supply of affordable housing to cultural appropriation.
