Engineering Excellence

We devised a concrete frame structure, which served both the building services strategy and AHMM Architect’s aesthetic view for the project. Much of the concrete frame is exposed internally, allowing the structural engineering elements to shine as intrinsic to the look and feel of the building. The ground floor is multi-use, including a conference room, coffee shop and a bar and performance space serving both tenants and the wider Edinburgh Park community.
