Vakos Development - 27th St. and Atlantic Ave

When a fire left a section of Atlantic Avenue in Virginia Beach devastated, Vakos Development Company turned to OneSpace Architects to help reimagine what could rise in its place.

As a commercial architectural firm in Virginia Beach specializing in adaptive and community-driven design, OneSpace provided full commercial architect services for the site, from initial planning through detailed design coordination. The result is a cohesive, functional rebuild that now houses Atlantic Waffle Company, The T-Shirt Factory, and Casa Pizza, each thoughtfully integrated into a unified streetscape that strengthens the pedestrian experience along the Oceanfront.

The OneSpace team focused on creating architectural solutions that balance tenant flexibility with lasting visual appeal. Modern materials and refined details bring the façade to life while maintaining a coastal aesthetic that complements the surrounding Virginia Beach community. Strategic layout decisions enhance visibility and accessibility, ensuring the development serves both businesses and visitors year-round.

This project reflects OneSpace’s expertise as architects for commercial buildings who understand the intersection of design, performance, and community identity. By blending functional flow with inviting public-facing spaces, the firm continues to help reshape commercial environments throughout Virginia Beach, one project at a time.
