Relevant Projects

Seven-villa precedent with privacy, pools, sea views, and modern Cycladic language.

Relevant local stone and terrain-sensitive project reference.
Risks
- Athens-based; confirm Paros site-supervision capacity and local contractor network.
- Clarify which public projects are built, under construction, or conceptual.
- Likely higher fee/longer process than a small local practice.
Questions To Ask
- Request three built Paros villa references with plans, budgets, and site-supervision scope.
- Ask whether they can calibrate design ambition to a permit-safe developer-led product in the specific site.
- What exact role did your office have on the referenced projects?
- Which projects are built, visitable, and supported by client or contractor references?
- Who handles permits, construction documents, site supervision, and contractor coordination?
