Granton Gas Holder Park

Granton Gasholder Park forms part of the wider £1.3 billion regeneration of the Granton Waterfront area. Once a key part of Edinburgh's gas infrastructure, the gasholder sat unused for decades. The site has been transformed into a space for play, relaxation, and reflection following extensive refurbishment—including the careful preservation of 100,000 rivets and 26 towering columns. Visitors can explore walking trails, three play areas, and a central sculpture of a breaching humpback whale, a nod to nearby Firth of Forth wildlife.

Lighting played a vital role in the transformation, helping to redefine the gasholder's identity and make the space welcoming after dark. The lighting brief required complete control over colour and timing, a low-profile installation respectful of the structure's heritage, and glare-free, visually comfortable illumination for all users.
