In a city that is constantly changing and its history is written on multiple levels, the daily routine of life is often relegated to something secondary instead of being the basis on which the foundations for strong social bonds are built. The spaces we inhabit are being undermined and the trend towards constant migration towards increasingly digital gatherings and participation at a distance has in recent years reduced the possibility for exchange offered by physical presence. The home, the dwelling from a meeting and invitation point for friends and acquaintances has been transformed into a retreat or fortress. Parties and gatherings are subject to restrictions and rules imposed by this invisible tendency and need to safeguard our privacy. Yet this trend seems to be resisted and reversed with residents increasingly seeking and demanding spaces that are meant for long term habitation and neighborhood living and building. In this context, a building at 35 Mithymni Street in Kypseli was renovated with respect to its heritage, preserving its original character while upgrading it for the needs of contemporary living. Authentic elements, such as mosaic and wood floors, marble cladding and other materials, were carefully restored, preserving the uniqueness of the building. The project redefines 35 Mithymni Street, combining tradition and innovation, honoring the unique identity of Kypseli, while offering a modern way of life. Upon its completion, eleven artists living and working in Athens were invited to exhibit their works in a short exhibition entitled "HOUSEWARMING", and invite the public and the neighborhood to visit on Saturday, February 1, in warm-welcome.

"The exhibition HOUSEWARMING is kindly supported by Resi Company. The company upgrades residential spaces in Athens, revitalizing properties to improve the quality of urban life, combining thoughtful design with sustainability and cultural preservation."
