Senior🎓
Top SchoolGeorge Petsagourakis is an architect and founder with 15 years of professional experience specializing in small-scale residential, public buildings and urban spaces, based in Rethymno, Crete. He runs MOSPET and the long-standing freelance brand GPArch, combining hands-on design, construction support and development work across the island. Early career roles on dense residential projects and large-scale construction sites gave him practical fluency with local permitting and delivery challenges, while his tenure as sole architect at Domisi Development sharpened his development-minded approach. He is known for clear goal-setting, persuasive presentations and enforcing robust procedures to keep complex projects on track. Unusually for an architect, he has contributed to open-source projects like CodeIgniter and DokuWiki by improving Greek localization and character support, reflecting a detail-oriented, multilingual technical mindset. This blend of architectural pragmatism, communication skills and occasional code/localization work makes him effective at delivering built environments that feel satisfying when complete.
