Pleasure and Leisure Property Corporation (PLPC), owners of Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach, has been awarded the licence to build a casino in the seaside town. Wagstaffs Design worked with PLPC on their public consultation and 3D visualisation of this exciting new development. The casino will form an integral part of a new leisure and entertainment complex called The Edge, designed by architects, Collado Collins.

Click on the CGI below to take a look at our animation of The Edge development.

Expected to create about 1,000 jobs, it will include restaurants, bars, a bowling alley, eight-screen Odeon cinema, six-storey budget hotel and a multi-storey car park.

When London Underground Limited (LUL) needed to secure funding to deliver the proposed capacity enhancement scheme for Bond Street underground station, we developed a CG film to help secure this important internal buy-in.

Together with transport planners, SKM Colin Buchanan, we married quantitive analysis and 3D visualisation to demonstrate potential impact on day to day operations.

The work took outputs from detailed Legion pedestrian modelling to help accurately portray how increasing passenger numbers lead directly to increased delay and congestion in Bond Street station. What was particularly insightful was the way the 3D outputs were produced into a concise visual narrative that was accessible to a very broad range of stakeholders.

We can reveal that we have been working with London’s leading housing association, London & Quadrant, on the advertising and marketing of their latest residential development, Albany Place in Southwark, South London.

It’s big news for us but even bigger for London’s housing market as it’s the first stage of the regeneration of the Aylesbury Estate – known for Tony Blair’s 1997 election ‘forgotten people’ speech and for the Channel 4 ident showing the run down estate as it was.

We have worked with L&Q’s marketing team to create a brand identity for the whole of Albany Place and the two private sale developments, which we have named Burgess Terrace and Ruskin Walk, recognising the site’s proximity to Burgess Park and as a nod to the famed art critic, John Ruskin, who hails from Southwark.

As a new development in a highly accessible zone 1/2 location, close to so many amenities and with Central London on the doorstep, our chosen design route incorporated the strapline, ’Close to Everything’.

With the hoardings now up, we are now working on the marketing material to support the forthcoming sales campaign. The website is under construction but people can already register their interest in the apartments www.albany-place.com

We have also developed CGI marketing images to really ‘sell’ the new development – our strategy is helping to change the perception of the Aylesbury Estate. We want to show that it is becoming a great place for everyone to live and enjoy – a fantastic location in one of London’s up and coming areas.

Everything we are doing, from the hoardings to the CGIs to the sales suite, has this message at its heart. It’s a challenging and exciting project for all involved and we will keep you updated as the marketing strategy progresses and the sales start!

Planning consent has been granted for Scotland’s largest hospital. Here at Wagstaffs, we worked on a selection of still 3D visuals for the Nightingale Associates-designed £840 million ‘super hospital’ in Glasgow city centre.

The new 170,000 sq m South Glasgow Hospital Campus will be one of the largest hospitals ever commissioned to be built in the UK, and will centralise acute services currently provided by three different hospitals – providing 1,100-bed adult hospital; 250-bed children’s hospital; laboratory facilities and support accommodation.

We have just worked with Network Rail to produce a 3D image of Denmark Hill station, to show how the station is going to be made more accessible for travellers as part of the government’s £370million Access for All programme.

A 3D visualisation of how Denmark Hill station could look

The image, unveiled last week, showed a new footbridge and lifts planned for Denmark Hill, which will create a step-free route between the station entrance and all four platforms.

An overview of the project is being exhibited at Kings College and Maudsley hospitals. For more information click here.

When BAM Nuttall Ltd, Ferrovial Agroman (UK) Ltd and Kier Construction Ltd got together as joint venture team intent on winning contracts for Europe’s largest infrastructure project, they asked us to give them a strong identity and a website to promote their partnership.

Team BFK was born. The identity was built around the successful reputations of the individual businesses coming together as one, cemented by their successful partnership track record.

The BFK team have now just secured two major Crossrail tunnelling contracts, the most significant tunnel contracts to be awarded in the UK since the Jubilee Line Extension and Channel Tunnel Rail Link.

‘Jason and the team at Wagstaffs were quick to grasp a clear understanding of what we were trying to achieve as a JV and created a brand and a website that ultimately helped us to secure these great wins – thank you!’ Adrian St John, Kier
