Quartermile One
Regional BCO Award Winner of Commercial Workplace 2008

Quartermile One is the first phase of a £450m mixed use scheme on the site of the former Edinburgh Infirmary. Every aspect of this project was impressive. ‘It lifts the spirits inside and out and makes the most of spectacular surroundings,’ said the judges.

There is a strong sense of arrival with modern but simple hard landscaping. The atrium creates a dramatic entrance but, just as importantly, provides occupants with a stimulating environment. The plan and position of cores allow great flexibility for sub-letting and office fit-outs ensuring that all occupiers can benefit from light, space and excellent views.

This is a confident, proud, modern building providing outstanding accommodation worthy of the location. ‘It is crisp and modern without being pastiche and stands up to surroundings without shame,’ say the judges.
