"You enter through a central doorway into a small rudimentary kitchen that would have been shared by two families...


Already you feel claustrophobic, wondering how anyone could spend hours in this small dark space, as you breath-in and breath-out the wooden walls leached with years of living.


You want to leave, to stumble out into the garden, into the open and inhale fresh air...A small window lets in a tiny square of daylight." (source)
