56three

56three met last night to play the mighty Etive Consulting Engineers Limited at the historic World Of Football for our debut 5-a-side football match. Led by our sport hungry Nathan Johnson, it was a great way to break free from the desks and bring our creativity to the pitch.

Do get in touch with Nathan Johnson if your team are interested in assembling a squad as we intend to grow this across the property and construction sector for regular matches.

National and International challenges will be considered - preferably in cities we are currently working in!

56three are delighted to share these interior photos from the recently completed refurbishment of 59 Studio Apartments at South Bridge, Edinburgh. We have developed this new interior designed product with Empiric Student Property plc for Post Graduate offering.

Located within a listed building in the heart of the city, whilst boasting high ceilings and some remnants of period charm, these apartments were desperately in need of a complete overhaul. Designed with Post Grad students in mind, we worked closely with client Student Property, and delivery partner Clark Contracts, to create studio apartments that now offer the ultimate combination of comfort, style, and elegance, within a heritage setting.

56three were recently back in Stirling to revisit the Riverside Quay student development. This 209-bedroom residence opened its doors to students 4 years ago this month, as the first building to be delivered as part of a wider masterplan for the Forthside area. The development featured a lower plinth block alongside the main building to preserve views to the Wallace Monument.

In some ways a trail blazer for as it marked the first true purpose-built student accommodation in the city and has been followed by several developments in the city, including our own Carters Yard.

Thanks to our Gordon Beaton for the photo.
