Edinburgh Apartments completed! / by Nikki Barton

This new Edinburgh apartment block is a car-free development that regenerates a derelict gap site to unify a suburban street in the Burdiehouse area.

Street context

Construction spanned Covid lockdowns and the four contemporary apartments replace a disused takeaway. All the units achieve Bronze Active Sustainability level and benefit from roof mounted PVs, cycle parking and water harvesting. Throughout the project, City Architecture Office worked closely with the developer to design and deliver this in-demand rental housing.
