The conversion of one of the old shops in a museum
at the historic Kypseli Municipal Market,
narrates the history of the Market and the neighborhood of Kypseli,
thus helping to collect and preserve memories
of the place and people, forming a living relationship
with current users and residents.
The greatest challenge in the project was on the one hand
the tiny space available and on the other hand
the requirement for its autonomous, unsupervised operation.
The design focused on clever ways of discovering processes
that increase the available space, enhancing the visitors’ experience,
with vertical and horizontal sliding surfaces,
built-in screens and speakers
Materials, color and prints contribute to the comfortable
look and feel of space.
The aesthetics of the exhibition, inspired by the modern movement,
of which the Municipal Market is an important representative,
highlights the contemporary dimension of the project,
avoiding nostalgic approaches.
