RESIDENCY & ESTATES
As well as its visionary architecture, the development has a
prized location nestled to the private rear of the capital’s iconic
Donaldson’s estate, located within the city’s UNESCO World
Heritage Site.
Situated within 18-acres of grounds that make up the largest new
shared garden to be created in Edinburgh it creates a feel of a
secluded private estate just minutes from Haymarket station, and
a mile from the heart of Princes Street.
The design of the two show apartments has been inspired not
only by the building itself but its outstanding surroundings, led
by multi-award-winning Alexander James Interiors.
The renowned interior designers have been recognised as one
of the World’s Top 100 for three consecutive years in the Andrew
Martin Review, regarded as the Oscars of the design world, and
were a perfect fit for this unprecedented design project.
Stacey Sibley, Creative Director at Alexander James, said: “It has
been a joy to work with CALA at this absolutely fantastic setting,
and on such a unique building.
“The inspiration for the design came from the traditional
architectural style of Edinburgh’s surrounding Georgian crescents
– but with a very contemporary twist.
“Crescent-shaped streets allowed designers to create open
spaces and gardens within cities, so a natural palette of colours
was a huge influence in the design.”
Designed by Richard Murphy OBE, the architecture of The
Crescent has been directly influenced by Edinburgh’s famous
Georgian crescents, with the show apartments boasting the open
views and innovative design features this classic style affords.
Paired with an impressive glass façade are generous flowing
spaces, enhanced height living areas and dynamic levels and
with each apartment offering a dual-aspect living arrangement,
The Crescent uniquely combines classic design with modern
style.
The vast front lawn and panoramic views over Edinburgh’s
cityscape and towards the Pentland Hills beyond, combined with
private terraces and gardens to the tree-lined rear offer buyers an
idyllic rural escape – whilst still being in the heart of the capital.
Priced from £950,000 to £1,925,000, The Crescent comprises
some of the city’s most sought-after new residences.
