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.

EXTERIOR

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 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.
