Paris Liakos graduated in architecture from National Technical University of Athens in 1972, and in the early years of his architectural career he participated and won in more than 15 architectural competitions. At his mid 20s he designed the first hotel, and since he has been involved with more than 200 hotels.

In 1981, Paris Liakos founded the studio and a year later, he was awarded the Applied Architecture for Environmental Integration prize for placing a hotel complex, Cavo Tagoo into an old quarry in Mykonos. Through developing the client and project base, and expanding into new sectors, he has grown and established the studio into a leading force in the hotel design market.

Paris Liakos takes a strategic overview of each project from conception to construction. His wealth of experience and clear design philosophy are invaluable. He has overseen a diverse range of projects and his approach is directed to a site-specific response developed from an informed, intuitive standpoint. Each project is established through a rigorous and enduring response to the natural landscape.

All these years of invaluable experience on hotel design, are being infused in our projects from the start of the creative process. He knows very well that designing a hotel is not just inspiration, but also a process of creating a well working hospitality mechanism of the highest standards.

As a believer in new, innovative and dynamic teams, Paris Liakos gladly shares his vast knowledge and expertise in Architecture with the team. His focus for LAA is to continually drive excellence in client service through quality design, commercial focus and efficient planning. One of his main concerns is to actively maximize the added value of the project through architecture, and create joyful and inspiring spaces for its users.
