Locus is a design laboratory rooted in Pordenone and Padua.
Founded in 2021 by Roberto Pasquali and Riccardo Tosoni—educated between IUAV Venice, IIT Chicago, UNITN Trento, and UPV Valencia, and professionally shaped at Aires Mateus, Cino Zucchi Architetti, and GEZA—the studio moves across the boundaries of architecture, interior, product, and visual communication.
At the heart of our work lies the locus: not merely a physical place, but a web of social, cultural, and perceptual relationships that makes a space, an object, or a moment vibrate.
Each project begins as a device for transformation: it embraces memory, interprets the present, and opens up future scenarios—inviting those who inhabit it to explore new forms of belonging.
We believe in a plural approach that intertwines vernacular building techniques with technological innovation, critical thought with digital craftsmanship.
For this reason, we collaborate with builders, artists, and researchers, weaving networks capable of generating environmental, aesthetic, and economic value.
