Edinburgh Printmakers

Re-purposing our industrial heritage for contemporary artistic production.
The Edinburgh Printmakers creative hub is located within the former headquarters of the North British Rubber Company (NBRC). Our project involved the redevelopment of this derelict building into a multi-use arts complex centred around printmaking production.

Central to the architectural concept was to make precise interventions to facilitate new use while respecting the character and story of the existing building. The NBRC building is the only surviving structure from the once important nineteenth century Castle Mills industrial complex. During the First World War, over one million pairs of rubber boots were made for the army at Castle Mills.
