Buccleuch Street is a highly sought after address. Near the old town and the city’s famous nightlife with a generous range of amenities including restaurants and cafes, retail outlets, comedy clubs, theatres, and art galleries.

Little wonder then that it is a draw for Edinburgh students following the development of a six storey student accommodation scheme using Sigmat’s lightweight steel frame with concrete floors and a basement incorporating energy saving plant and equipment.

Working with Hart Builders, part of the Cruden Group and 7N Architects, Sigmat were chosen to help deliver an ingenious infill to a gap site which had lighted the south side of Edinburgh for a number of years.

In total, 86 bed spaces were created in a variety of formats including en suite one bedroom studios, cluster studios and four bedroom apartment styles. The building also incorporates a cinema and a gym, reception and laundry and common room.
