Award RIAS Award 2024 and RIBA National Award 2024

The Fruitmarket Gallery plays a vital role in the shaping and propagation of contemporary arts culture in Scotland. Accessibility and inclusivity are central to the Fruitmarket’s developing remit and ambitions.

These characteristics and intentions are mirrored in the ambitions of the architectural project, situated next to Edinburgh Waverley Station. Arts buildings must be flexible and open. They must support the organisation in its aims. They must be capable of being re-imagined, maintaining their usefulness and relevance. The essence of the brief was to retain, refurbish and recalibrate the original gallery while extending into the adjacent warehouse.
