Arch. Pilar Paiva de Sousa

When she completed her Architecture degree, Pilar Paiva de Sousa considered becoming a set designer. In fact, what still defines the architect today is her ability to look at spaces and, through them, tell a story, transforming them. This approach to the profession has established Pilar Paiva de Sousa, and PPS, as a reference in architecture and interior design for hospitality and cruise ships. More than designing and structuring a project, Pilar Paiva de Sousa develops each environment as if it were unique, considering every detail to meet the client’s expectations. Her aesthetic sensitivity and know-how distinguish the signature style of Pilar Paiva de Sousa in the work she delivers.
