​House in a house is a restoration completed in 2023 of a 100 sqm 75 year old apartment within Kypseli staged with the works of Kleopatra Tsalis. With the apartment being halfway furnished, House in a House paints a partial picture of a dwelling with the guests being guided through the space and artwork inorder to dream of alternate ways of living and exploring.

​

The apartment began with a space which had undergone multiple previous renovations. Walls had been demolished in the 90s while new services and kitchen had been added in the 2000s. With each renovation, the character of the space further distanced itself from the original. This project is an attempt to move the space both forwards and backwards, revealing layers from the past while also celebrating its future. It is a canvus to experiment with space thus a collage of nested spaces of different characters.
