VU.CITY Guildford For You

Key Features

Coverage

Guildford town centre is historic, with striking topography and attractive vistas into it from the surrounding countryside and the Surrey Hills.Guildford has a number of important key landmarks; the prominent Cathedral is found on Stag Hill, and the town’s distinct medieval castle lies to the centre, with landscaped gardens, and important views across Guildford from its square tower.

Visualisation is key in Guildford, as development must be sensitive to key landmark buildings, with a number of strategic views to be considered from the river Wey, towards the town and in the town centre itself.

Users of VU.CITY Guildford include Guildford Borough Council, JTP, Leonard Design Architects, and Hawkins\Brown who have already discovered the model’s many benefits, from being able to understand and assess a site’s opportunities and challenges, testing refined designs in context, enhancing planning applications and conversations, to improving how everyone involved collaborates.
