Greek home’s overhaul leads to retribution by architect? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

zorba

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'greek home's' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'overhaul leads to retribution by architect?' is the wordplay.
'overhaul' becomes 'zo' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'leads to' says to take the initial letters.
The first letters of 'retribution by architect' is 'rba'.
'zo'+'rba'='ZORBA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for zorba that I've seen before include "Greek dancer (film)" , "Anthony Quinn's Greek" , "Greek film character" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
