The Tenants is a fascinating photo series portraying current and former inhabitants of the post-war modernist estates that Zupagrafika have illustrated and turned into paper model kits and books. The images capture them in front of their Brutalist homes – some just renovated, others awaiting demolition.

David Navarro and Martyna Sobecka, the people behind the creative studio, "had the pleasure" to shoot in cities of the former Eastern Bloc and beyond, such as Berlin, Chisinau, Halle Neustadt, Katowice, London, Paris, Poznan, Rostock, St. Petersburg, Wroclaw, and Warsaw.

"Our future is uncertain, they will eventually make us move out... I'm not afraid of changes, I just hope I can afford them," said Shamim from Robin Hood Gardens in London, currently under demolition.

"The neighbourhood changed considerably in the '90s and doesn't feel that safe anymore," remarked Eduardo, who has lived in Orgues de Flandre`s Tour Prelude for the past 30 years and still says he wouldn't change this place for any other flat in Paris.

"I will never forget this view, we had all the facilities, hot running water, it felt so modern," said Wiesław from the 'Gwiazdy' estate, who remembers the first day he entered his new home in Katowice in the late 1970s.
