At home among the cobbled streets of Scotland’s capital, 16–18 Potterrow occupies an enviable corner just a stone’s throw from the University of Edinburgh and a 10-minute jaunt from Edinburgh Waverley station.
The student living project was designed by Jasper Sanders – founder and director of eponymous studio Jasper Sanders + Partners. Designing Potterrow’s original interiors back in 2016 – part of a longstanding relationship with property developer Curlew Capital – Sanders sought to elevate the previous scheme and deliver a more ‘mature’ interpretation of the city. Still drawing from the cultural and creative influence of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the concept (completed with ADP Architecture for student living operator Fresh) now channels the drama of the theatre in a less literal, more subliminal way – an approach he describes as “playful, without being patronising or remedial.”
