Transformational nine-year project delivers new exhibition space beneath Playfair gem

Hoskins Architects has completed its nine-year project to redevelop the Scottish Collection Gallery, on The Mound, in Edinburgh, as part of a £38m project to transform the Scottish National Gallery.

Work has seen the delivery of new world-class gallery space beneath William Henry Playfair’s Grade A-listed National Gallery of Scotland to display the large collection of domestic works in the Scottish National Collection. 

Hoskins said the project involved extensively reworking “somewhat cramped and gloomy” 1978 Property Services Agency-designed offices and the Scottish Collection gallery as well as creating new circulation routes to the 1854 gallery above.
