Professional Experience


Workshop Dionisis Sotovikis (2016-2026)

In the years that i have been working as a professional architect for Workshop Dionisis Sotovikis, i obtained experience in every stage of applied architecture. From conceptual design of every size and scale and 3d ArchViz, to project planning, to gaining knowledge regarding building regulations, permit issuance and site supervision. I was involved in a great variety of high-end architectural projects: commercial stores, public buildings, private residences, apartment renovations, boutique hotels and large tourist facilities. At the same time, i also took part in projects of a more theoretical and artistic character.

A selection of the most notable projects i was a part of:


Athens School of Fine Arts - New Library (10/2016 – 11/2016)

Collaboration in execution studies. (10/2016 - 11/2016. Nominal reference in issue 213,December 2016 of “Ellinikes Kataskeves” magazine, as collaborating architect)

Milos Cove inception resort (2018)

The highlight of my career so far. As part of the design team, i took part in project planning and execution studies of the first 5* Inception Resort in Milos, Cyclades. When construction began, i was transferred to Milos and was assigned the supervision of construction during all stages of implementation, as on-site architect, for a consecutive period of eight months. This was practically my “nut and bolt PhD”. I will never forget this experience.
