The Eden Chaos hotel 

Client: Radicepura competition  
Location: Sicily, Italy
Phase: Designed  
Year: 2024

The Eden Chaos Hotel is my proposal for the Radicepura Garden Festival in  Sicily. Inspired by the abundance and spontaneity of nature, this immersive  garden imagines a small hotel gradually reclaimed by a dense edible  ecosystem. Visitors are invited to wander through layers of fruit trees, aromatic  herbs, vegetables, and edible shrubs, engaging their senses and rediscovering  the richness that nature offers. 

Created using locally sourced second-hand furniture, the installation explores  the relationship between human presence and natural processes. As time  passes, vegetation takes over, furniture weathers, and new forms of life settle  in. The garden becomes a living reflection on biodiversity, resilience, and our  deep connection to the earth, celebrating nature as a source of nourishment,  knowledge, and wonder.
