description |
this three-star hotel and associated retail at ground level is part of the haymarket development masterplanned by richard murphy architects. planning permission was granted mid-2008. the site sits adjacent to the dalry colonies, a nineteenth century development consisting of two-storey artisan dwellings arranged in a series of terraces. the newhotel sits along the existing stone boundary wall and mediates between this very low-scale historic development to the south and the more robust scale of the new commercial development to the north. fingers extend out from the main body of the hotel to create new courtyards, and step down to meet the scale of the neighbouring buildings. all rooms look into the courtyards, thereby avoiding issues of overlooking, and privacy is further enhanced by the use of planting on the stepped terraces. |
