132 Princes Street, Edinburgh
A sensitive £2 million conversion of 132 Princes Street, three of the few remaining original Princes Street townhouses, to office use. By converting the vacant upper storeys of the B-listed buildings and adding a contemporary extension, 3DReid has created 15,810sqft (Gross Internal Area) of light and practical quality office space for Hazledene House Limited.
A key driver underpinning the scheme has been to expose and enhance the historic fabric of the existing building to create character speculative office floorplates. On a more pragmatic note, the specification within these areas has been developed so as to creative viable areas, offering ease and flexibility of prospective tenant fit-out.
One of the most prominent features of the scheme concerns the additon of a contemporary extension to the rear of the existing building.The design of this was a matter of significant sensitivity on various fronts. From it being an extension to a B-listed building, situated in the heart of the World Heritage Site, to the proximity of residential properties, whose aspect and amenity required to be preserved.
