The story begins during the first years of the Greek economic crisis, when many people relocated from crowded cities to the suburbs and the countryside in order to restart their lives and re-orientate their professional career. 

“The field is a halfway house, 
halfway between the detail of those intimately known places and the ignorance of a landscape view.  The essence of a field is that the cultural accommodates the natural there.  The human being makes room for and makes use of those organisms that are not him. In that way the field is a poem to symbiosis, and a human 
contract with the natural.”  Adam Nicolson

In this scenario, two young couples decide to move together in a house of one 
hundred square meters to the outskirts of town Megara, and work as farmers. The town lies in the northern section of the Isthmus of Corinth opposite the island of Salamis and specialized in the olive groves, orangeries and the exportation of wool. 

Having as project of reference the House of the Infinite, designed by Alberto 
Campo Baeza in Cadiz, the natural slope is incorporated in the proposal. The whole complex emerges from the soil, yet it is naturally ventilated from all its sides.

The volumetric set up of the house configures a south-oriented yard for 
recreational purposes and secondary activities to the main profession. Three terraces cover the volumes and a thin long element of zinc combines the ensemble.

The concept of the house is a constant circulation between interior and exterior spaces and a combination of mantled and dismantled stereos. The mild climate assists in that. Rooms and spaces are divided in social and individual. 

Bedrooms and bathrooms are considered as mainly closed cubic spaces shaped by stone walls, while the kitchen and the living room as perforated spaces and extremely translucent. The breathtaking view of the Salamis island is captured with the North window in the living room, while protected from the prevailing strong winds.
