Guildford
This mixed-use development includes a 185 bedroom Radisson Edwardian hotel with full leisure and conference facilities. The project also includes residential and retail, together with an underground car park for the new Civic Concert Hall. This development forms part of the wider redevelopment of the Civic Quarter in Guildford.
Ica Architects delivered significant planning gain within a very short timescale, exceeding the initial development expectations. This was achieved within a complex town centre environment which required in-depth knowledge of the site, planning history and context, hotel brand requirements and lateral thinking.
Ica Architects recognise the importance of building strong relationships with the project team including the local authority planning team. Working closely with the planning department was key to the successful consent that was truly win win.
