DMWR Architects are working with Watkin Jones and an extensive Consultant team to deliver  the mixed use, Student residential led scheme at Lantern House & Carriage House.

The project is divided into 3 blocks: A, B and C.
Block A and C are 5 storeys high and Block B has 4 storeys. Blocks B and half of Block C will accommodate office spaces and
employment use at ground floor, whilst Block A and the other half of Block C will house student rooms and ancillary spaces for the
PBSA (common rooms, study rooms, plant rooms, bin stores etc).
The proposal aims to: 

  • Provide high quality student accommodation (330 beds), 
  • Provide shared communal spaces across all buildings with a central courtyard 
  • Enhance pedestrian links between Walnut Tree Close and Guildford Town centre. 
  • Provide office spaces and employment use at ground floor level.
