Page 3 of 3 (.....) You will never do better than this man, and his group. He is of the highest character, and was able to transform my dream into a stunning reality- a home that fits in its village and landscape. As I have gotten to know most in the village, I have heard over and over how beautiful the locals feel the house is, and how it looks again how it once looked many decades ago. This is the best compliment. I feel that another facet that adds to what Exarhos brings is the fact that it is a Greek owned business, with Kostas having roots in Crete- this is mandatory when it comes to understanding how to design and create a home here. I visited a modern home that he designed, and found it to also be lovely- in striking contrast to many of the other homes I see filling this beautiful island poorly designed by others.If you are lucky enough to be able to work with Exarhos, you will not be dissapointed. Kostas also kept me well informed along the way with many emails and photos so that I could imagine what was going on. As noted above, he employed very talented engineers, and workers- the onsight builder Elias who oversaw the project was a true master and artist- and was able to create the most remarkable stone, and polished concrete floors (one of which looks like an ochre colored river, with stepping stones, winding through the guest house floor)- his stone masons were also able to restore the stone walls. I asked him to create a modern bathroom- he fashioned an amazing sink from a large copper bowl that would be at home in a chic Athenian hotel or home- and created a bathtub from stones....lovely touches. As if this would not be enough, Exarhos staff helped me furnish the home, and delivered some of the furnishings at no extra charge. This group is a class act- I wish I could bring them to the states to design and build a new home for me here- as it would be far better then what I could get here!
