Waverley Mall makes an entrance
February 9 2018
Sutherland Hussey Harris have notified City of Edinburgh Council of their intent to remodel the entrance spaces to Waverley Mall East at the Waverley Steps.This would entail the removal of existing Trespa wall cladding to allow entrance doors to be widened and new finishes to be introduced to the existing cladding; including steel trim openings, full height glazed screen shopfronts and illuminated signage.
Remaining Trespa cladding will be refaced with a black vinyl finish as part of efforts by mall owner Moorgate to keep pace with the looming St James Centre.
Stallan Brand Architects are spearheading a separate scheme to re-jig the mall’s roofscape in order to improve access and maximise views of the Old Town.

Heads should role for this mistake or at least some sort of public inquiry!!

Why are two different architects working on the same scheme?

Not sure that this is any better than the Trespa. A massive mirror to reflect the intricacy of the Balmoral facade might have been more interesting. Ultimately nothing is going to enhance this space given that horrific canopy.
