Our services
PRTA Studio is the architecture and development practice of architect Markos Portalios.
Based in Crete and working across Greece, the studio operates as a collaborative platform — connecting architecture, interiors, property advisory, and construction management through an extended network of trusted engineers, surveyors, contractors, and specialist consultants.
Across all services, our aim is simple: to design and deliver buildings that feel inevitable rather than imposed, rooted in their landscape and meaningful for the people who live, visit, or invest in them.
(01)
Architecture
Led by architect Markos Portalios, PRTA Studio designs private residences, villas, and boutique hospitality projects throughout Greece. The work begins with the specific conditions of each site — light, slope, views, prevailing winds — and develops into clear structures and measured volumes.
Through this process, and in close collaboration with our network of structural and MEP engineers, we seek architecture that feels calm and precise: buildings that are silent, enduring, and genuinely anchored in their place.
Services include:
Architectural concept & schematic design
Full permitting documentation
Coordination of structural, MEP, and landscape studies
Project visualization and design supervision
(02)
Interiors
Our interior work continues the architectural language developed by Markos Portalios and the studio: spatial clarity, material restraint, and careful detail.
Rather than decoration, we focus on atmospheres — how light, texture, sound, and use come together over time. Working alongside local artisans, fabricators, and suppliers, we design interiors that feel like a natural extension of the architecture, whether for living, hospitality, or work.
Services include:
Interior architecture & material selection
Lighting design & art direction
Custom furniture and joinery design
Sourcing & styling in collaboration with local artisans

Services include:
Property search and due diligence
Development feasibility & building code analysis
Coordination with local surveyors, notaries & agents

PRTA.SN
PRTA.SN is the studio’s design-to-build framework, led by Markos Portalios and delivered through an established network of engineers, contractors, and craftsmen.
It provides complete oversight from tendering to handover, ensuring that the precision of the design is carried through to the construction site. Cost, quality, and time are managed with the same discipline that shapes our drawings — so the built work remains faithful to the original intent.
Services include:
Construction management and on-site supervision
Coordination of consultants and subcontractors
Material and finish approval
Project handover & post-completion support
