Description

This building, located at 6 Bell's Brae in Edinburgh, was designed by Thomas Moncur in 1881 and converted into offices in 1972 by Robert Matthew Johnson Marshall and Partners (RMJM). It is a former stable structure that features approximately 13 bays and is two storeys high, with three storeys at the rear, situated on ground that slopes down to the northwest.

The eastern section of the building is advanced and showcases a large gambrel gable with paired rectangular dormers on the street-facing elevation. The northern elevation has a curved shape, and the building is oriented from east to west. The exterior is constructed of coursed and snecked rubble, with long and short quoins, and crowstepped gables on the western side. The large overhanging gambrel roof on the eastern side is complemented by a crowstepped gable beyond it.

The southern elevation features shouldered arched openings at the ground floor, with tall narrow rectangular windows above. The northern elevation has large rectangular windows at the ground floor with ashlar lintels, and smaller windows on the upper level. A tall pointed arched window is present on the western gable end.

The building predominantly has plate glass in later timber hopper opening windows, along with 9-pane and 4-pane hopper opening windows in the dormers. The pitched roof is covered with grey slates and clay ridge tiles, and some ashlar skews are visible. Cast-iron rainwater goods are also part of the building's features.
