The Haymarket master-plan is the largest project to date that Richard Murphy Architects has taken on. Tiger Developments approached the practice when the site was for sale and their bid was successful in the summer of 2006.
The practice’s role has been to master-plan the entire site; to design the exterior of three office buildings working alongside CDA Architects; and to design a new 180 bed five star hotel. A second three star hotel, designed by Sutherland Hussey Architects, is also part of the RMA master-plan. The original planning application was made in September 2007
In its recent design review report, Architecture and Design Scotland criticised the original scale and vision of the Morrison Street Goods Yard design, including its 16-storey landmark hotel.
