Edinburgh Park Masterplan, Scotland – 2016-

Edinburgh Park is a 148 acre business park located 6 miles west of Edinburgh city centre. It was master planned by Richard Meier in the early 1990s, and despite the success of its early phases, the southern end of the park has remained undeveloped for several years leaving the original vision incomplete.

Dixon Jones were appointed in 2014 to review the masterplan of the undeveloped 43 acres. The site has been assessed from first principles, with feasibility work examining commercial, mixed use, arts and residential opportunities. The developer (Parabola) has encouraged an open minded interrogation of the development opportunities of the site, exploring the potential to transform this part of the city and to complete the park in a manner that respects the original vision.

The park benefits from a mature and generous landscape, distant views of the Pentland Hills and Arthurs Seat and the opportunity to build on the improved connectivity offered by the tram line that runs through the heart of the park.
