This dissertation is about how I built my house in Thessaloniki. I list in detail all the process of finding, designing and building my house. Given the financial difficulties and the unfavourable economic situation of Greece, it was difficult for me to rent an apartment. After some research I found a place that felt suitable for my needs and I decided to transform it into a fully functional residence.

 Specifically, the place I found is an old warehouse in the historic centre of Thessaloniki. It has a glass front and metal shutters. It was an undivided room with a small loft. Its dimensions are 1.90 by 8 and 4 meters high. After spending a lot of personal time and putting a lot of effort I managed to install electricity, water, internet and connect the bathroom to the sewerage system. I designed and built my staircase, bathroom, kitchen and room. Since there wasn’t much space I had to improvise so I created a moving wardrobe that depending on its position defined the area of kitchen or bathroom respectively.

 In this assignment I am describing the experience itself and provide information beyond the stages of design and technical materialization of the project.  Therefore I include my experience with people I interacted with or helped me during the process. Additionally, I created a few vlog videos throughout the building process, which are available for everyone to watch.
