Relevant Projects

Subterranean Private Villa

Antiparos / Paros | 2021 | Built | Architecture

Built

800 sqm steep-slope subterranean villa with stone, concrete, and named engineering team.

What to verify

  • Practice is Cyprus/London and self-positions around cultural/public impact; local Paros delivery may depend on external team.
  • Single verified Cycladic villa project.
  • Potentially too architectural/special-project oriented for a repeatable low-density development.

Questions To Ask

  • Request availability, local partners, and whether they have more Cycladic residential work.
  • Ask how they would handle permitting and cost control on Paros.
  • 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?
