Scottish Story Telling Centre, Edinburgh

The prominence and location of the building in the tourist heart of Edinburgh meant that there was only room for two portacabins on the High Street and access to the adjacent pend had to be kept clear at all times. The project involved remodelling of the existing 1960s building to replace the 100-seat theatre in basement, with circulation spaces on the ground floor linking into John Knox’s House, while retaining upper floor offices.
