As part of this existing office building’s refurbishment, SPACE provided architectural and design services to refresh the tired and inefficient space in Edinburgh Park. We were tasked with improving the energy efficiency of the building, the flexibility of the building layout, and the shared facilities within the building. There was also a desire to enhance the attractiveness of both the common and tenant spaces. This was a project dedicated to sustainable, retro first refurbishment aligned to Net Zero targets. Approach Our most significant intervention related to the building’s core spaces. While it may not be the most obvious improvement, reconfiguring these spaces unlocked a lot of opportunities and potential. With a central core that largely split the modest floorplate into two halves and was served by a total of four stairs, the layout needed an overhaul. We pulled the central core partially out of the building, allowing us to create a new and striking entrance. This gave the building more useful space connecting the main parts of the floorplate and, along with removing one of the stair cores, allowed for more lettable space. Highlights Transforming a building from a collection of stuffy, awkward floorplates into bright and useful spaces Improving the building’s energy efficiency and use of natural resources Creating office accommodation that’s fossil fuel free, zero direct emissions, and aligned to net zero targets Other Projects 67 George Street AXIS Contact enquiries@spacesolutions.co.uk MENU Vacancies Our Clients Space Solutions (Scotland) Ltd Policies & Certificates Accreditations & Frameworks Health and Safety Consultancy & Design Design & Build Facilities Management OTHER DIVISIONS Corporate Moves Recycle Scotland Blind Solutions Transform Scotland General Technical SIGN UP TO OUR NEWSLETTER Sign up now Keep in touch to stay up-to-date with our latest news and insights.
