Office refurbishment Traverse Theatre Edinburgh
Traverse Theatre was founded in 1963 with the idea to extend the spirit of the Edinburgh Festival throughout the year.
Traverse Theatre were looking to have their offices refurbished. Their offices are situated in the basement of the iconic building on Cambridge Street that is part of the Saltire Court development on Castle Terrace:
Office refurbishment Traverse Theatre Edinburgh
The open planned office held 20 staff, as well as two internal offices and a make shift meeting room, the client wanted to add another office as well as a meeting room to give staff a proper space in which to hold meetings.
The client had recently purchased new furniture and were looking to carry out the works as quickly as possible taking advantage of their quiet cultural period in the year. Amos Beech transformed their office space in Edinburgh, using glass partitioning to create a new frontage for the offices and meeting room and solid partitioning to divide. A new bespoke coat storage was constructed allowing staff a place to store their outdoor items. The office was decorated throughout incorporating feature walls of colour. New LED lighting was installed to brighten up the basement space as well as new carpet tiles to define the open plan and office space. The air conditioning system was also renewed and altered to suit the new office layout.

A new office for MNM Developments in Leith Edinburgh
MNM Developments approached us in the middle of last year, to assist with interior design, furniture and fit-out plans for their new offices in Edinburgh. The brief was to design an office interior which reflects the quality of the luxurious property developments that they are renowned for and to have a relaxed, comfortable feel.

With this in mind, we designed a bright and modern homely working environment, carefully selecting products and finishes to reflect the client’s vision. The reception desk is finished in Light Grey Concrete echoing the use of building materials used in construction, along with the unique “Rebar” console table in the boardroom, which provides the contrast between the beauty of wood and raw industrial metal.
A glass screen partition featuring their corporate logo provides a backdrop and separation to the office but still maintains an open plan feel. Grey Seagrass vinyl floor has been Herringbone laid mirroring the pattern of the MNM brand.
Soft seating has been upholstered in pure new wool fabric made from premium New Zealand lambswool in tones of greys and soft blues. That together with the beautifully rich and deep shade of walnut on the desks and custom-made storage provides warmth and a luxurious feel.
Feature Linear lighting in walnut and concrete compliments the finish of the interior.
To top it all off, our client said of us “Amos Beech brought our vision to life and made the most stressful process not as stressful as we had originally thought”.
More kind words from their Instagram account:
So a little preview of what our new HQ looked like before we got stuck into the interior design with @amosbeech. This building has been in the Teague family for 2 decades and hasn’t really had any work done to it during that time. So the refurb was well needed before we could move in ——— #mnmdevelopments #edinburghbusiness #officerefurb #newproject
And our official AFTER images. We can’t believe the finished product that we now have. It exceeded our expectations and we are glad we took the plunge and appointed @amosbeech with the contract! ——— #highlyrecommended #mnmdevelopments #interiordesign #officefitout #officerefurb
As most of you will know by now we recently moved into our new HQ on Salamander Street (images to follow shortly). . Our interior fit out was done by the wonderful @amosbeech who we can’t recommend enough. They brought our vision to life and made the most stressful process not as stressful as we had originally thought!

Our design team worked closely with Sunshine Communications to provide office furnishing ideas that meet tight budgets, functionality and aesthetics. A space full of colour and plants, a home away from home.

As you enter into the workspace, you're greeted by a neon pink side profile face - illuminating the essence of Sunshine Communication, a talking head. Social by nature, social by trade – they gain traction with everyone they work with.
The geometric shapes painted in soft pastels add interest to the back wall. The paints used in the scheme are from Craig & Rose, the oldest independent paint manufacture in the UK, a nod to their origins on Leith Walks. The colours echo Sunshine Communications branding without being overpowering to the entirety of the space. As the office is also a working photography studio, we had to consider colour balance.
For the meeting room, we needed to create privacy but also wanted to make a statement. The dichroic film is beautiful, constantly reflecting shifting colours and radiance depending on the perspective of the viewer. Inside we placed a large brass conical base table that balances a glass top to contrast from the pink velvet seats sat below.
And to continue the velvet, we placed two green velvet sofas facing each other as an informal meeting space with plant pots on stands help to separate it from the open workspace as well as adding biophilia.
And of course featuring in their offices: “Sunshine on Leith”, the Scottish musical film directed by Dexter Fletcher featuring songs by The Proclaimers:
