Eden Rome

On the top floor, the bar, the all-day dining restaurant, and the gastronomic restaurant. From this vantage point, the Eden Rome offers a spectacular view of the Villa Borghese gardens, revealing one of the most beautiful spots in the city. Therefore, we chose not to design an interior that would compete with the exterior view. Instead, they decided to invite the main elements of the view—greenery, Roman icons, and the flickering sunlight on tree leaves—inside the restaurant. We literally brought the garden into the space. To achieve this, the entire space is wrapped with a large, abstract green wall made of glass and metal foliage that mimics the trees and gardens outside. Behind this wall, light filters through the mesh and metal leaves, creating a beautiful crisp, clean space in the morning. Comfortable bespoke furniture, including large banquettes and a lounge area complete with a wood and marble bar, fills the first space. 

A covered terrace forms the center of the restaurant. Here, we used terra-cotta, wood, and steel as nods to Roman heritage. The lace-like ceiling on the terrace plays with sunlight, casting irregular patterns on the floor and walls. Deep colors like ochre, sienna, and green, accented by pink-grey stone for the tabletops and bar, create a warm atmosphere that relates to the history of the city. The Ella chair, designed by Patrick Jouin iD , completes the setting, bringing comfort to the space and a touch of elegance with its refined silhouette.

As for the spa, located beneath the building, we designed a pristine jewel box reminiscent of Roman baths, a retreat that offers a quiet pause from the hustle and bustle of Rome. There, guests can indulge in treatments that will reconnect them with their inner selves and help them find a new way to breathe. To provide such an atmosphere, we selected several noble materials and called upon craftsmen from Murano to perfectly align with the spirit of Rome.

The main idea for this space was to return to an original vaulted room, reminiscent of a traditional Roman bath, allowing guests to feel connected to what their ancestors once did: a combination of decadent and deeply satisfying tradition. Upon entering the space, you feel embraced by the connection to the ground and the water beneath. 

We created treatment rooms as small cubicles with wood-lined walls to convey a sense of security, as if the spa were a refuge from the city and its turmoil. Bespoke glass sconces on the walls cast a gentle glow, as if reflecting light on water. Handmade by the renowned glassmakers of Murano, these oval-shaped lights evoke the feel of a torch-lit room and resemble a precious jewel hidden from view, like a treasure in a vault.
