The Auction Rooms represents an ambitious commercial office project, poised to meet the demands of modern office culture. Situated within a historic A Listed townhouse on the prestigious Queen Street in Edinburgh, this project is a meticulous office refurbishment aimed at seamlessly blending the heritage of the past with the demands of modern work culture.
Transforming the former Bonhams office and auction room, The Auction Rooms is set to offer a dynamic mix of private office rentals and coworking spaces. The project places a premium on high-quality design, with a primary focus on interior aesthetics that strike a balance between contemporary sophistication and a respectful nod to the building’s listed grandeur.
One of the standout features of The Auction Rooms is its commitment to providing diverse meeting spaces, ensuring flexibility for businesses of all sizes. From intimate meeting rooms to larger collaborative areas, the project caters to the varied needs of its tenants.
The communal areas, including a central kitchen area and social spaces, foster a sense of community and collaboration. This emphasis on shared spaces enhances the overall work experience, encouraging networking and synergies among professionals within the building.
As The Auction Rooms nears completion, it stands as a testament to the thoughtful revitalisation of historic spaces for contemporary use, promising a unique and inspiring work environment that seamlessly blends tradition with innovation.
TEAM INSIGHT
“We are extremely passionate about working with listed buildings and this project was no exception. Steeped in history having been built 1785, our focus was to repair, rejuvenate and celebrate, with a particular focus on reinstating the beautiful lost original cast iron balustrades which wound around the 4 storey stair and protecting the buildings legacy for the next 100 years.”
