Georgian Residence
C1951-Bedroom-2

GRAS is currently leading the sensitive refurbishment of a Category B listed Georgian residence in Edinburgh’s Stockbridge, reimagining domestic life through a lens of quiet purpose and measured elegance.⁠

At the heart of the proposal is a study niche, discreetly embedded within a wall of bespoke joinery—designed as a space for stillness and focus, carefully calibrated to the pace and patterns of contemporary living. Created in close dialogue with our clients, the niche embodies a desire for an environment that is both introspective and architectural.⁠

The material palette is restrained and textural: softened contours, layered finishes and moments of exposed hardwood lend warmth and tactility. Throughout the apartment, from reimagined bathrooms conceived as spa-like sanctuaries to flexible storage solutions shaped by modern routines, the project balances heritage sensitivity with personal utility, creating spaces that feel both grounded and quietly expressive.⁠
