Guildford Town Centre Redevelopment Look Book
Citation preview
Rich History. Bright Future.
British Columbia is a place of abundant natural beauty; a land whose lush forests,
majestic mountain ranges, boundless skies and shimmering seas attract visitors
from all over the world. With themes of forest and coastal waters as inspiration,
Guildford Town Centre is about to enter a new cycle of organic growth—bringing
the community together to share a timeless contemporary space that invites people
to gather…and to linger.

DESIGN OVERVIEW
For more than 40 years, Guildford Town Centre has had a profound impact on the community of Surrey—and soon it will have the visual
impact to match. The two-level expansion of the centre will include refurbishment of the existing building façade featuring a warmer
colour palette highlighted by more contemporary entrance canopies. The beautiful lower level entry is an artful confluence of soft curves and
strong angles, at once complementing and enhancing the centre’s rectilinear forms. The new rounded shapes not only create a focal point,
but combined with a nature walk, also encourage movement around the building and up the terraced steps. A dramatic basalt water feature
adds the finishing touch, cascading from the upper to lower plaza—and providing the perfect soundtrack to a relaxing day of shopping
and socializing.
Making an Entrance
• Warm colours and clean lines will be reflected in updates to the existing façade
• Contemporary canopies bring focus to entrances
• A serene nature walk gathers and guides between theatres and exterior entrances
• Dramatic stone water feature enhances terraced steps
• The plaza will create a strong community gathering hub at a prime public corner
As a primary focal point of the centre and a popular community gathering place, Centre Court
will immerse shoppers in soaring spaces and reflective surfaces. A single dramatic floor opening
will unify two levels into one inviting, open space infused with natural light. Natural wood-
covered columns topped by backlit fabric canopies evoke old-growth forest. And at the heart of
it all, a new glass-enclosed elevator seduces the senses with a two-storey water wall surrounded
by a reflecting pool with bench seating—the perfect place to sit and…well…reflect.
• Wood, glass and mosaic tile finishes
• Upper level media wall framed by a vertical garden
• Lower level café area to invite relaxation
• Accent lighting on reflective surfaces
The Centre of It All
CENTRE COURT
DESIGN OVERVIEW
DESIGN OVERVIEW
• Tranquil, coastal-inspired design
• Palette of blues, greens and whites
• Circular elements evoke tidal pools
• Variety of seating options from plush banquettes to family-style tables allows for an enjoyable dining experience
Anchored by a soothing coastal theme, the new Food Court
will offer a multitude of inspired dining options and relaxing
seating groups for guests. The space is unified by a palette of
translucent blues, greens and whites—the porcelain floor tiles,
mosaic columns, bench fabrics and other materials are alive with
patterns that evoke the ripples, swirls and waves of seawater.
Circular ceilings and drywall “coves” with airy, diffused lighting
complete the picture.
A Sea of Change for Centre Dining
FOOD COURT
From flagship to food court and beyond, it’s our goal not just to move customers through the centre—but to
truly transport them. With this in mind, the concourses and common spaces are designed to take shoppers on
a soothing, elemental journey through the dappled light of an old-growth forest. Columns wrapped in warm-
toned natural wood disappear into ethereal fabric canopies…abstract light features float through both levels
like clouds building on the horizon…and all is bathed in the natural luminescence provided by our skylights. A
timeless yet contemporary colour palette accentuated with fresh tiles and finishes and comfortably appointed
seating groups will transform the interior spaces and unify the entire centre.
A Most Uncommon Common Area
COMMON AREA
DESIGN OVERVIEW
• An artful, figurative forest
• Natural wood and fabric textures
• Abstract, cloud-like light fixtures
• Fresh tiles and finishes accentuate the entire centre
• Comfortable areas with contemporary lounge seating allow guests to take pause
A beautiful fusion of earth, forest, sea and sky—this is elemental British Columbia. It’s what inspires us to live
here, and it’s what inspired us to reimagine one of the area’s most beloved public spaces. By bringing the outside
into this building, we hope to infuse each and every visitor with the spirit of this inspiring area. While its physical
attributes may change, Guildford Town Centre’s fundamental vision remains the same: to be a cornerstone of the
Surrey community, inside and out. Our bright future is 45 years in the making…and it starts now.
