This week’s hideout project is about an artist and architect, Zisis Papamichos. Every morning is kind of a ritual for him. Music is his addiction. Every day he plays the piano about half an hour, enjoying a warm cup of coffee. He believes that “rainbow in the morning gives you fair warning” and compares himself to the notes of the instruments. “As the musicians of an orchestra tune their instruments based on the note La on the piano, I am “tuned” as I play the piano, feeling ready to start my day.” He listens to music everywhere. In the car, at home, in the office, almost everywhere. His love of music led him years ago to start playing the piano. He started on his own, buying an electric piano and a book of songs by Yann Tiersen. “Yann Tiersen’s music is the main reason I learned playing the piano a few years ago.“ In 2012, while he was living in Thessaloniki, he had to supervise two big projects in Athens that kept him away from his home. So, he was looking for a big flat at the center of Athens and found this lovely, with a great view of the Lycabettus hill. “I still remember the day I entered the empty living room. It was early in the morning and the sunlight was falling gently on the old, wooden parquet. There was a quiet, luminous, artistic energy in the ambient. Later, I heared that Marios Ploritis, a well-known writer and one of the most important Greek translators, lived and worked in that apartment for many years.” His style preference is timeless with vintage touches. The interior of his home and office have similar references. Zisi’s office is in the same building as his house. He often forgets to leave the office at night. His favorite working day is Sunday, as he can work in peace while the phone isn’t ringing! He prefers not to set goals. He tries to do what he loves the most in the best possible way. He treats work as a challenge. “I’m trying to be more of a serious professional than a daydreamer artist.”. He aims to successful projects. Each project to him is unique, and his main goal is to make it last in time. If he thinks that a project will not work properly, he prefers not to participate in it. He hates failure and admits he is unable to manage it. After a hard day at work, apart from playing some music, he often reads a book that helps him create new images, different from the ones that he had to create at his work. He loves every corner of his home. “Talking to the ex-partner of Marios Ploritis -Ms. Katia Dandoulaki-, she told me that the apartment I live in was always full of books, texts and papers that were later donated to the museum. “We lived among stacks of books,” she first told me when I asked her to talk to me about this house.”
