Club Purgatorio takes Dante's Mount Purgatory and rebuilds it as a nightclub. Where Dante's pilgrims climbed seven terraces of penance to reach the Garden of Eden at the summit, Club Purgatorio stacks eight floors. One for each of the Seven Deadly Sins, and an eighth reserved for Eden itself. It's a multilevel clubbing experience where the ascent through the building is the whole point: every staircase or elevator ride is a passage between moral states, and the club becomes less a venue than a vertical pilgrimage.

Each floor is its own fully-realized world. Its own lighting, sound, crowd behavior, and rules of indulgence. Built around a single sin, with none of them sharing an aesthetic. Rather than illustrating the sins with wall text, the design lets guests feel them: a room can seduce, gorge, enrage, or lull its visitors before they ever think about the concept behind it. That variety is deliberate. Club Purgatorio isn't one mood repeated eight times, it's eight distinct atmospheres held together by a single architectural and narrative spine. Reaching Eden only after passing through every sin turns the finale into a question rather than a reward: is paradise something you arrive at, or something you have to earn by moving through everything you're not supposed to want?

As a conceptual project, Club Purgatorio sits at the intersection of interior design, worldbuilding, and allegory. Using nightlife's built-in appetite for excess, spectacle, and sensory overload as the vehicle for a very old story about temptation and redemption.
