WORDS FROM
OUR CLIENTS

“The relocation of our new headquarters to suburban San Juan, was based on the belief that we could enhance our lives and accomplish even greater success in a greener, more natural business environment. Our expectations were high in terms of design and functionality. The engaging architecture of V Architecture exceeded our aspirations and elevated our vision of how the business environment serves as a focal backdrop for the achievements of Citigroup in Puerto Rico and abroad.”

Ronald Zettel
Former Country Corporate Officer Citigroup Puerto Rico

"We have worked on construction projects designed by V Architecture that go back over 30 years. Lately we designed and built six public school projects and we are so grateful for their work, as they become part of the team from inception to the finish and beyond."

José R Vizcarrondo
Desarrollos Metropolitanos, LLC

"My team and I have worked with V Architecture almost exclusively for the last decade. From envisioning and site studies, all the way to full blown construction drawings, V Architecture holds our hand all the way through. These are extremely talented people, helping us achieve superb work done in a cost effective and timely fashion. V’s attention to detail and commitment to push the limits to achieve out of the box design is impressive and palpable. Arch. Ilia Rios is one of the most talented designers I have ever had the privilege of working with. She is extremely diligent and a great communicator. My development and construction teams love working with them. We couldn’t do it without V."
