Guildford 3D Model

VU.CITY Guildford is the largest and most accurate interactive 3D model available.

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. They have all already discovered the model’s many benefits, including understanding and assessing a site’s opportunities and challenges, testing refined designs in context, enhancing planning applications and conversations, and improving how everyone involved collaborates.

Guildford’s next chapter

Guildford is going through its most significant regeneration in decades. In the town centre, North Street is being transformed with new homes, a refurbished bus station and a pedestrianised high street, while the station area is being redeveloped with a new station quarter and hundreds of new homes. Alongside the River Wey, Weyside Urban Village is creating a new community of around 1,550 homes on a major brownfield site.

With VU.CITY Guildford, you can see approved and under-construction schemes in context and test how your own plans will sit alongside them.

Guildford Borough Council already uses VU.CITY Guildford, and built environment professionals, from architects and planners to developers and asset managers, use it to understand a site’s opportunities and challenges, test designs in context, strengthen planning applications and conversations, and improve how everyone involved collaborates.
