“Consolidated Properties Group is pleased to provide this testimonial for V Architecture.  

We have had the pleasure of working with Costa Vorkas and his team on the design of our last 6 supermarket anchored shopping centres. From the initial planning stages to the final construction phase, Costa and his team demonstrated an impressive understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities associated with creating a successful neighbourhood shopping centre.

One of the key strengths of V Architecture is their ability to balance the needs of multiple stakeholders, from the builder, developer and supermarket operator to the other retail tenants and the shoppers themselves. They have a keen eye for detail and a talent for creating attractive, functional, and efficient spaces that maximise foot traffic and sales.

Throughout the project, V Architecture maintained open lines of communication and provided regular updates on the progress of the design. They were always willing to listen to our feedback and incorporate our ideas into the plans. Their collaborative approach helped us achieve our vision for the shopping centre while staying within our budget and timeline.

We highly recommend V Architecture to anyone seeking a talented and experienced retail architect. Their expertise, creativity, and professionalism are second to none, and they are a pleasure to work with. We look forward to working with them again on future projects.”

Don O’Rorke, Chairman, Consolidated Properties Group

“I have had the pleasure of working with Costa and many of the VA Team over the last 15 years.  Engaging with VA team in the early stages of a project adds value and ensures that optimal returns are achieved.  The VA team always go the extra mile to ensure that a client’s needs are accommodated and provide a service that is impeccable.  I have no hesitation in recommending this organisation for your future project.”

“I have worked with Costa and his team for over 10 years now and hope to do so for many more.  Costa values professional relationships which translates through his genuine care and passion for clients and their outcomes.  Costa excels at preliminary concept development, often joining disparate opportunities or ideas to add value to client assets.   In addition to his big picture thinking, Costa successfully balances design with practical delivery when it comes to construction of the teams designs and ideas.”

Kris Krpan, Director, URBIS

“Costa and the team was recommended to me by a highly experienced and very well regarded Queensland developer to help further enhance our National retail portfolio footprint. Our brief and goal was to secure professional services from an architectural perspective that was creative, forward thinking, coupled with a pragmatic approach to commercial realities. 

We sought a firm that we could embed in our retail teams to work collegiately as a group to create memorable and productive retail environments. The recommendation we received was immediate and definitive and lead us to Costa and the team. This recommendation has very well met our requirements. 

In a fast revolving and changing world of retail, Costa and the teams input has been invaluable in enhancing our assets and helping set out product apart in a highly competitive world. The culture Costa and his team have built is collaborative, consultative and performance orientated, with a capability that delivers in a timely and cost effective way. 

I highly regard and admire V architecture as an organisation built on sound governing principals , that strives each and every day to deliver positive outcome for clients.”

Peter Coroneo, COO, LEDA Retail

“I have had the pleasure of working with Costa and his team over a number of years, on numerous projects, and each time the team has exceeded expectations. Costa understands how to drive a design and stretch a budget to ensure the best possible outcome for the project. Costa works tirelessly, constantly challenging himself and his team to deliver outstanding results. I would happily recommend Costa and his team to anyone looking to undertake a new project.”
