Porteous studio
Winner of 'BEST SMALL PROJECT' at the Edinburgh Architectural Association Awards 2018
Tucked away in a quiet courtyard just off the Grassmarket sits No.2 Porteous Pend. SPLINTR were appointed lead contractor on this exciting project to transform the humble garage lockup from a bare shell into a design-focussed studio apartment.
"The studio is designed as a quiet retreat for two people to rest after a busy day exploring the city. The design of the space includes an open kitchen and living area, a bedroom with double bed and separate shower room. Porteous’ Studio is constructed from natural products which create warm, peaceful and tactile interior. The natural clay plaster walls regulate humidity levels to the optimum human comfort range and create a calm atmosphere and the velvet limestone tiles sit softly with the cobbles outside and the underfloor heating keep feet cosy at all times. The furniture has been crafted from a single oak tree from East Lothian and sits with presence in the space.
Once you arrive in Edinburgh and made your way through the winding, wondrous streets of Old Town to the bustling Grassmarket, you’ll find Porteous’ Pend in the shadow of the most spectacular view of Edinburgh Castle and the studio nestled within - your holiday begins." - www.porteous.studio
