Pasquale Piroso, who graduated in architecture under Prof. Paolo Portoghesi and with whom he collaborated on projects of national importance, founded his own architecture studio in Palazzo Canova, the historic studio of the renowned sculptor Antonio Canova. Here he cares for the restoration of the sculptor’s gallery and develops ambitious projects, always concentrating on the dialogue between art, interior design and lighting design. The essence of each project relies on the development of technology and the relationship between material, light and art. The stylistic signature of Pasquale Piroso and Studio Loft Canova is the “poetics of listening to the location”, the ability to immerse oneself in context and apprehend its innermost nature, giving life to genuine projects dedicated to beauty. There are many publications in architecture magazines that archive the projects he has accomplished and achieved.

Immerse oneself in the framework and grasp the most profound nature of a site to give life to authentic projects in close relationship between materials, light and art

The breath-taking idea of creating a ring of water seemed very close to UNIQ-Ǝ!’s view to represent something unique, extraordinary and new.
