Risks

  • Style may be bolder and more sculptural than a quiet, timeless premium-villa target.
  • Terra Fracta is permit-stage, not built; confirm built villa references beyond Tinos.
  • Likely higher fee, slower process, and stronger design authorship than a hands-on developer may expect.

Questions To Ask

  • Consider as a high-design option if the project owner wants a more ambitious architectural identity.
  • Ask how they would simplify their language for the specific site while keeping permit/cost risk controlled.
  • 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?
