What gnb architects does

gnb architects is a boutique architectural design studio founded in 2014 and headquartered in Maroúli, Greece, with active project presence across the Cycladic islands (Mykonos, Kea, Paros). The firm provides professional architectural services spanning schematic design, interior design, landscape design, engineering coordination (structural/MEP), and construction supervision. Its portfolio of 20+ completed projects is concentrated in two segments: luxury 5-star hospitality (Mykonos Flow, AS Resort, Hâbitat All Suite Hotel, Yalos Hotel) and high-end residential (Windmill Residence on Kea, Aleomandra Residence, Con Residence, Villa Kanalia).

The studio's design methodology is rooted in terrain-responsive Cycladic architecture, using topographic curves as compositional drivers to produce curved building forms, underground habitation with light conduits, and monolithic sculpted masses integrated with the island landscape. Services are delivered by a team of 11-50, anchored by named principals (Andreas Giovanos, Maria Vlachou, Nikos Paouris), and supplemented by a network of specialist partners for structural engineering, lighting, interior design, landscape architecture, 3D visualization, and construction.

gnb architects operates on a project-based professional services revenue model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led through direct commissions from private clients and closed architectural competitions, targeting luxury hotel operators and high-net-worth individuals seeking Cycladic-specific design expertise. The firm is privately held with no disclosed investors, funding rounds, or parent company, consistent with a founder-operated boutique practice. It maintains a bilingual (English/Greek) digital presence across its website, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook channels, and is currently operating with active project listings on its site.
