The architect
For 20 years architect Morris Richards clung to a vision. In 2007 that vision was stunningly and
vibrantly brought to life when the doors on the Velanidia Villas in Kefalonia were swung open for the first time.
It seems a lifetime ago when Morris Richards MRA first embarked on his project to design and construct
villas on a beautiful Greek island that he knew so well. In partnership with wife Sarah and in collaboration
with Stelio Zapantis of BDG Consultants and Contractors (Athens and Kefalonia), Velanidia Villas are a
lavish testament to his skill, imagination and endeavour.
Morris, owner of an architects and planning consultancy business in the Hampshire town of Lymington,
is committed to environmentally low-impact, contemporary design at home and abroad.
So as you relax on the marble-floored verandas of Aloni or Sterna, breathing the heady perfume of
cypress and olive as the cicada play out their beguiling symphonies, raise a glass to Morris Richards.
For his dream is your reality.
