Dates: 2014 - 2018
Client: GSS Developments

Built in the capital’s ’Exchange’ district, this cutting-edge commercial development offers circa 40,000 sq. ft of office and retail space over six floors.

Sustainability was the primary focus on this urbanistic property which offers award-winning bike storage for 47 cycles, a bike repair station, charging points for electric vehicles and shower and clothes drying facilities. Its bold contemporary design and floor to ceiling windows allows natural light to flood the space, and the upper floors provide exceptional views of Edinburgh Castle and the city skyline.

Quattro played a key role in the demolition of existing buildings and provided civil and structural engineering services for the new development, which included:

  • Site appraisal
  • Site investigation
  • Obtaining demolition, planning and building warrants
  • Overseeing demolition process
  • Civil and Structural design
  • SER Certification
