Greece was, and has continued to be for many years, in a deep economic crisis. When it was on the verge of bankruptcy and immediately after, most people’s lives changed dramatically.

Spaces demonstrate and confirm financial status. The choice of space that we choose to live in is usually done in two ways. Consciously, provoking and enjoying the benefits of the “name” of the area, or unconsciously, with the feeling simply that we “belong” to this place. When living in a place is done out of necessity and not out of choice, it is like having to build a prison that looks like a house. As nice as it gets, at some point you will want to get out of it to get some air.
