What to verify

  • Their own project text says they mainly dealt with surrounding area and interior decoration, so full architectural authorship must be clarified.
  • Only one direct Paros project found in the reviewed evidence.
  • Broader portfolio leans urban workplace, retail, and interior work.
  • The project credits indicate a shared or split authorship structure that needs to be unpacked before treating LOWFAT as sole villa lead.

Questions To Ask

  • Review for role fit. Ask whether they can lead full architectural design or are better as interiors/outdoor-living collaborators.
  • Request full Villa Retreat drawings, built photos, construction budget, and exact scope split.
  • Clarify the relationship between LOWFAT and Michail Fifas on Villa Retreat, including who led concept, permitting, detailing, and site delivery.
  • 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?
