Granton Station: An Adaptive Asset for the Community

Built in 1901, Granton Station stands as a testament to the transformative power of adaptive reuse. Once a key piece of infrastructure connecting people to the Granton Gasworks, the station fell into dereliction after the gasworks closed. Its redevelopment has breathed new life into this historic landmark, creating a vibrant hub that blends heritage preservation with sustainability and community needs. The project successfully navigated the challenge of transforming the derelict Grade B listed building into a dynamic space that serves the community while honouring its industrial past.

This reflection delves into the design principles that underpin its success, exploring how adaptive reuse and regenerative design have been seamlessly integrated to make Granton Station a model for sustainable urban renewal.
