New Fruitmarket

New Fruitmarket
2007

This project provides expanded facilities to bring together the distribution and administrative offices of the major fruit and vegetable supplier within Edinburgh.

The design reflects the juxtaposition of the industrial and commercial elements of the clients operations by bringing together the aesthetics of a functioning warehouse with commercial offices. This combination is accentuated by the treatment of the façade. The use of full height horizontally banded Reglit glazing and a colour contrasting hood around the entrance works as a visual break between the different functions of the building. This concept is further emphasized through the projecting pod windows to the office elevation and the canopy along the length of the warehouse elevation.
