URBAN EDEN

Our project for Gorse Hill Community builds on the rich potential of an existing farmhouse and its surroundings, transforming them into a hub for sustainable living. With an eco-shop, shared kitchen, and open social garden, Urban Eden fosters creativity, connection, and ecological awareness. By reimagining these spaces, we aim to create a welcoming environment where people can gather, learn, and explore new ways of integrating nature into urban life. This is our step towards a greener, more inclusive city—where urban meets eden!

Benedetta P
Hi! I'm Benedetta, currently doing my exchange semester at MSA and attending MArch1 Infra. I'm originally from Italy and completed my Bachelor in Architectural Design at the Polytechnic of Milan.

Throughout my academic and professional journey, l've developed a strong interest in adaptive reuse projects, exploring how architecture can give new life to existing spaces.
I recently had the opportunity to experiment hands-on with reuse strategies during a recent workshop, where we transformed discarded materials into urban furniture.
I'm now continuing my research in my current atelier and I'm looking forward to engage with the Gorse Hill community!
