The Project

The proposed design for Canningford House by Stride Treglown Architects blends modern elements with historical references. Positioned just a five-minute walk away from Temple Meads train station, the project aims to improve pedestrian flow and connectivity. The pedestrian route has been carefully designed to encourage movement from Victoria Street through to Cornubia and Temple Street.

The design includes a striking double-height space, framed by arch-like fins or ribs, creating a visually engaging pathway. This feature is intended to naturally guide pedestrians through the site. The building line along Victoria Street is set back at ground level, which helps draw people into the reinstated Long Row—a pedestrian route finished with a dark rubble pennant stone and intermittent lighting for a welcoming and safe night-time experience.

This design harmonizes modern aesthetics with historical context, contributing to the architectural fabric of the area while creating a welcoming, functional space for the public.

Our Work

Our team was asked to create a series of CGIs to support the planning application and give a clear vision of Canningford House and its surroundings.

We produced day and night CGIs of the pedestrian walkway, emphasizing the arch-like fins and the vibrant, lighting scheme that enhances the walkway's appeal after dark. 

The CGI of Cornubia Walk showcases the iconic Cornubia pub and its the seamless integration of the development into the existing urban fabric. 

Additionally, we created an aerial CGI of the entire development, providing a comprehensive view of how the project connects to the surrounding area. These 3D visualizations have been instrumental in conveying the design’s impact and how it will enhance pedestrian flow and architectural interest of the area.
