Project overview
Nestled within the vibrant community of The Engine Yard on Leith Walk, The Tram Sheds stands as a striking testament to urban regeneration, breathing new life into the historic Shrubhill tram sheds. This distinctive restoration project introduces 43 industrial-styled new build homes, seamlessly blending contemporary living with the area’s rich heritage.
Once a bustling hub for the city’s tram network, The Tram Sheds now stands as a focal point of The Engine Yard’s unique community. The restoration of the original tram sheds, now reimagined as the Big Shed, Wee Shed, and the Gap Building, has created a dynamic space for modern urban living. This final phase of the project comprises 43 apartments, each boasting unique features and a high specification.
The Engine Yard offers a diverse range of one-, two, and three-bedroom apartments and duplexes. From arched or round pivot windows to solar-powered Velux windows and raised ceiling Juliette balconies, every home is thoughtfully designed to maximize space and natural light.
The Engine Sheds prominently feature Blockleys Sterling Grey bricks, which clad the facades and accentuate the central chimney stack in the open courtyard. The subtle grey tones of the bricks harmonize with the site’s restoration area and classic red brick frontage, creating a cohesive aesthetic. Complementing the metal cladding found throughout the development, the sterling grey bricks add a touch of contemporary elegance to the urban landscape.
