Project: Architectural reworking, refurbishment and new build rooftop extension

Listing: Category A

Client: Chris Stewart Group

Located at the corner of St. Andrew Square this elegant Category A listed building was once the headquarters for the National Bank of Scotland. It has now been redeveloped to accommodate 50 no. serviced apartments situated within the richly crafted original panelled rooms, and the sensitive yet confident new rooftop extensions. The addition of a new circular ETFE rooflight capping the tiered internal vestibule, enhances the existing character of the building’s interior. The use of high-quality materials ensures the building’s successful contemporary reinvigoration. Commercial uses are located on the ground and basement floors and include the original banking hall, which has regained its original scale and grandeur.
