A place blending the best of old and new, in the heart of the Granite City

Working closely with our partners Aberdeen City Council and Aviva, we sensitively blended old and new to create a mixed-use quarter with workspace, a hotel, cafes, restaurants and public space in the heart of the Granite City.
Bold and innovative, Marischal Square has transformed this important part of Aberdeen. It’s acted as a catalyst for further redevelopment throughout the city and created a striking setting for historic buildings Provost Skene’s House and Marischal College.
We worked with our partners to create a welcoming and friendly place, with a part-pedestrianised road, landmark fountain with a large and versatile public space.
We know art and culture are central to creating a great place, and so ‘Poised’ – a 15m-high steel leopard designed by renowned sculptor, Andy Scott – sits right at the centre.
