Spelonca
Spelonca, the studio and research space of artist Edoardo Piermattei, takes shape in the Borgo Dora district of Turin, inside what was once a semi-underground religious office. The project involved a reconfiguration of the original space, aiming to create a flexible layout capable of supporting exhibition, artistic, and conceptual activities.
The intervention involved the demolition of existing drop ceilings and interior partitions, unveiling the original vaulted arches to enhance spatial continuity and perception. The new layout is organized around a main space with dual exposure, illuminated by large arched windows facing the courtyard and light wells along the lateral walls.

The choice of materials and finishes was defined in close collaboration with the artist, with the aim of integrating pictorial and material interventions across floors, walls, and ceilings. The space is conceived as a Gesamtkunstwerk, designed to foster interaction between artistic practice and everyday use.
