McDonald Road, Edinburgh

The former Victorian Broughton Secondary School, which dates back to 1905, has been converted into 74 serviced apartments.

Following a strip out of the existing building the conversion work included structural alterations to form apartments out of the existing classrooms.

Due to the existing high ceilings it was possible to introduce a mezzanine floor to create a bedroom space. Existing features were retained and carefully restored where possible to achieve a modern, elegant look.

Leisure facilities have been provided with the construction of a gym in the basement, a club room at the ground level and a roof deck with magnificent views over Edinburgh.
