The winners of the 2023 Scottish Property Awards were announced on the 23rd of February in front of 650 guests at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
Recognising the finest accomplishments in Scotland’s built environment; the independant competition is assessed by a team of specialists from several sectors who combine industry expertise and market knowledge.
Among the winners were our friends at Ica Studio, who took home the Architectural Excellence Award (Commercial Use) for their work on the Virgin Hotel in Edinburgh.
The award-winning project was a complete renovation of three listed buildings situated in Edinburgh’s Old Town, brought together to create Virgin’s first European hotel. The hotel features 222 Chambers and Grand Chamber Suites and multiple dining and drinking outlets, all with their own unique space and distinct design.
