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.
