MacArthurs Stores, Dunbar

Restoration of harbour-side warehouse for local fishermen. E&Co were appointed as the structural engineers for the restoration of possibly the ‘oldest warehouse in Scotland’, then being used as fishermen’s stores, and surviving in a largely unaltered but very dilapidated state. The brief was to repair the existing structure and redevelop it to meet the needs of the C21st fishermen. Its location on the harbour side dictated the use of materials – limecrete externally, oak for external balustrades, and careful galvanising of the steelwork.
