Belgian design firm SEMPRE Design Build has crafted Hecate's Garden, incorporating natural materials, raw textures, and dense foliage to echo ancient Colchian visual culture through an active greenhouse paired with a narrative-driven dining environment.
Moving deeper into the greenhouse, mythology transforms into tangible design and modern craftsmanship. At the center stands a bespoke table adorned with individually hand-painted ceramic tiles, reinterpreting reconstructed ancient Colchian ornamental motifs through a contemporary lens.

Surrounded by nearly 100 living plant species, guests can choose live botanical specimens to take home, extending the spatial experience beyond the site itself. Grounding the multi-sensory offering, the beverage program features regional wines from Guria, connecting the modern glasshouse to Georgia's 8,000-year-old winemaking tradition.
Hecate's Garden represents a fresh model for narrative-driven hospitality, demonstrating how architecture can merge ancient regional heritage, such as Colchian mythology and Georgia's deep winemaking roots, with sustainable living and botanical immersion to create unique experiential venues.
Herbs, edible flowers, and fruits harvested on-site directly supply the orangery's pescetarian kitchen and bar, while the nearly 100 plant species thrive inside the active greenhouse as the primary medium for the spatial experience.
The open-air garden welcomes the changing seasons, golden hours, and long evenings, alongside custom teas, botanical candles, and specialized objects created specifically for the site commissioned by Starring Georgia.
