In your words
“We’re bringing in architects and our clients and different consultants in one room and we’re viewing the drawing, the architecture and the massing through VU.CITY.”
Charlotte Orrell
Senior Planner at Iceni Projects
"VU.CITY gives us the full visual story in a matter of seconds."
Paul Finch
Editor - Architects Journal
"The practice is taking full advantage of the VU.CITY model platform to great effect. As a design tool VU.CITY is exceptional, the extent to which we can now substantiate our architectural proposals with supporting data and compelling verified visuals is a game changer. The team are going beyond the clear benefits the software provides to test both urban and townscape strategies on major projects to explore environmental and microclimate impacts.”
Paul Stallan

The platform is really helping us communicate those kinds of insights among our consultant team which then enables for a faster and more insightful decision making process.
Jack Hawkins
Development Manager - Londonewcastle
"Development and architecture are embracing technology at a rapid rate but many ideas are impractical or premature and don’t work. The VU.CITY platform is already making an essential difference to design and planning decisions in London and clearly will go much further."
Sir Stuart Lipton

“With VU.CITY on the table, it’s like the whole conversation just relaxes. It’s an independent resource we can rely on.”
