Leith Links

A project that comprises of an attic conversion with a subtle internal reconfiguration and major renovations to a late 19th Century yellow sandstone, mid-terrace home located in the Leith Links area of Edinburgh.

The brief was to modernise the home, establish a new master suite with "bathing space" and form as much storage as possible. The attic conversion introduced a bright, calm and contemporary space to contrast with the period features of the lower floors. Every millimeter was utilised to deliver ample storage, spacious rooms and a reading area with a bespoke designed balustrade.
On the lower floors room layouts were reconfigured to create a large kitchen dining space, utility room and walk-in pantry providing much needed storage. Renovation work was undertaken to reinstate original features and enhance the home's historical charm. In addition, bespoke built-in furniture was designed for several rooms to blend form and function.

Interior hallway with a staircase, grey carpet, white walls and a black-and-white tiled floor. Coats hang on wooden pegs and picture frames line the wall.

Ornate black iron stair railing with wooden handrail, abstract paintings in blue and yellow visible behind on a white wall.
