This Grade A listed, two-bedroom apartment sits within a Georgian building in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, just steps from St Giles Cathedral, the Royal Mile, City Chambers and Edinburgh Castle. Surrounded by cobbled streets and historic architecture, the apartment blends period character with contemporary living.

Specified by Pamela Mackay Interiors, our Verdant Smoked Oak Parquet was installed across 75 sqm to provide a versatile and durable foundation for the space. The smoked oak parquet introduces a rich tonal palette with subtle variation, enhancing the interior without competing with the building’s architectural details.

Its engineered construction ensures long-term durability for daily residential use, while the refined finish supports a modern interior scheme. The natural variation in the oak adds texture and depth, creating visual interest and a sense of warmth throughout the apartment.

By combining the practicality of engineered hardwood with the visual appeal of smoked oak, the flooring enhances the space by providing a cohesive backdrop that complements the building’s Georgian features. The result is a home that balances the character of its historic setting with the demands of contemporary living.
