Dublin Street Housing : Edinburgh New Town Property

Housing, New Town Phase 2 (Colonies), by Richard Murphy Architects

Dublin Street Property 1993 & 2000 Richard Murphy Architects Private Housing: Dublin Street Lane Dublin Colonies - Insertion, Context: David Churchill image from Richard Murphy Architects Attractive Housing Association work for EDI & The Burrell Company. Dublin Street Housing is located in the Old Broughton Village, a surviving fragment of pre-New Town landscape. Stair Entry: image from Richard Murphy Architects The six two-storey houses and twenty-two flats broadly preserve the footprint of the partially-destroyed village: the organic plan marks an antithesis of the New Town formality and hierarchy. Dominant elements of external staircases, expressed roof forms and informal composition of elevations reinterpret Old Town medieval housing. Materials include white rendered walls, Western-Red Cedar boarding, galvanised metal and mesh.
