Delighted to share that Guildford Plaza has been shortlisted for Best Residential Design (Over 300 Homes) at Property Week’s RESI Awards 2026.
Delivered on a long-vacant brownfield site in Guildford town centre, the 301-home co-living development transforms a constrained plot into a vibrant, community-focused place. Four articulated perimeter blocks frame a landscaped courtyard, resolving a 6.5m level change while maintaining step-free access throughout.
The scheme combines private and cluster studios with generous shared amenities, supporting a growing community of young professionals. Sixty-seven homes are provided at 80% of market rent, alongside wheelchair-adaptable units.
Drawing on the site’s industrial heritage through a layered brick palette and green detailing, Guildford Plaza also achieves BREEAM Excellent and Fitwel Two-Star ratings.
Proud to see the project recognised for uniting architectural quality, sustainability and social value in the heart of Guildford.
