The sandstone cladding on the principal facade (facing east onto George IV Bridge) is punctuated by random fenestration with slightly angled timber cladding panels:

The Lawnmarket facade (facing north) is divided vertically to reflect typical feu pattern of the Royal Mile, again with timber panels, but here they are face the street square on, but step out as the building rises:

The facade to Victoria Street (facing south & southwest) is curvaceous, with sandstone vertical mullions – like the ones designed by Benson + Forsyth at the Museum of Scotland just down the road:

Other key projects by Allan Murray Architects in Edinburgh include Caltongate, the redevelopment of the St James Centre, SoCo and The Cub (Leith Street). More recently they have been involved in designing the massive St James Quarter, a 1.7 million sq ft city centre development and one of the biggest regeneration projects currently underway in the UK, also known as Edinburgh St James.
