The project concerns a seascape and negotiates in it, two limits. One is created from the surface of the water, horizontal limit, and the other is created by the surface of an abrupt rock, vertical limit. These two limits, or “marginal surfaces”, are extended, broadened and expanded in an artificial way, so as to create an interior that it would be visit-able or with a wider significance “inhabitable”.

The site is in the South-east side of an abandoned marble quarry in Tiseon Oros (Magnisia, Greece), opposite to Evia. The mining operations created an abrupt flat surface of 240m height and 500m width. It is an artificial seascape, monumental in impact while at the same time useless.

An architectural installation is produced that aims to an “inhabitation” of a marginal situation in-between land and sea while at the same time it constitutes the creation of a left over space, a contemporary wreck, without the existence of a functional program. The interest is concentrated in the experience that the installation offers to the visitor with his/her presence in this marginal space.
