Testimonials

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 10 retail projects. 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 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 anchor supermarket operator to the other 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.

I have worked with Costa and his V Architecture team for nearly 10 years and hope to do so for many more. Costa values professional relationships evident through his genuine care and passion for clients and their project outcomes.

Costa excels at preliminary concept development, being able to join contracting opportunities and differing ideas to add value to his clients’ assets. In addition to his big picture thinking, Costa successfully balances innovative design with practical delivery when it comes to construction of the project team’s vision.

Costa and V Architecture were recommended to me by a highly experienced and well-regarded Queensland developer, to help further enhance Leda Group’s national retail portfolio. We were seeking to engage professional architectural services that were creative and forward thinking, coupled with a pragmatic approach and understanding of commercial realities.

In the fast, revolving and changing world of retail, Costa’s input has been invaluable in enhancing our assets and helping set our product apart in a highly competitive world.

The culture Costa and his team have built is collaborative, consultative and performance orientated, with a capability to deliver in a timely and cost-effective manner. I highly regard and admire V Architecture as an organisation and the team strives each day to deliver positive outcome for its clients.

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.

Costa is an expert at initial concept design and development, who always takes the time to understand his client’s perspective with respect to design vision, budget and delivery. The V Architecture team is passionate about what they do and always make themselves available to ensure that the project is a success.

Will Gray, Managing Director, Gray Property Invest

Costa Vorkas has been a key part of our team working on shopping centre developments for over 20 years.

It is a select few that possess the experience and insight into what makes retail property work. Costa has always provided great leadership within the design team through the many challenges faced in any development and has rightfully earnt a position of trust from McConaghy Group and the broader shopping centre industry.

Robert McConaghy, Founder, McConaghy Group

We have been working with Costa and his team since 2020, and it goes without saying that they have the ability to extract the maximum value from a site using clever and original design at the concept phase.

Quite often I find that Costa will challenge development ideas, and I like that from an architect, as he takes no aspect of the project for granted nor expects any detail it to be a given. Multiple design iterations are prepared and not rushed at concept phase, which really sets the tone for a successful development.

Costa always acts in the best interests of the client and is passionate about every detail like he owns the project. The look and feel that V Architecture achieves on its projects is always of a high standard, yet is well balanced with cost effective materials and finishes in a price sensitive market, which is crucial in retail and commercial developments. I highly recommend this architectural practice.
