The Malt House

Originally built as a spirit & wine bond, compromising 3 storeys with basement, this former office bookends two mews lanes at their meeting point on Canning Street, just off Edinburgh's Shandwick Place.

A new central courtyard was carved out the middle of the existing building to create 10 dual aspect apartments with a 2,000ft2 office unit over ground and basement levels. A sculptural steel and timber access stair provides the main focus for the new courtyard which connects to the street via a timber lined pend.

Internally, formerly hidden elements of the original building such as cast iron columns and timber beams are exposed and restored.
The interior palette has been kept simple to highlight the original features, with dark oak flooring and white walls enlivened by sliding doors and walls picked out in feature colours.
