One of Scotland’s largest legal firms, Morton Fraser MacRoberts, has moved to the prestigious Grade A office space at Haymarket Square in Edinburgh.
akp delivered two previous projects in the same building, the BCO nominated Cat B Fit Out for Dentons on the 2nd floor, and the Cat B Fit Out for Lothian Pension Fund on the 4th Floor.
The client was keen to optimise their office footprint and consolidate their teams at their current offices at Quartermile in Edinburgh and Capella in Glasgow.
The new office is located on the fifth floor, set within the impressive £350m mixed-use development in the heart of Edinburgh’s West End.
With an EPC rating of A and a BREEAM certification of ‘Very Good’, sustainability has been maximised in all aspects of the design, in keeping with the firm’s commitment to environmental excellence, which is supported by its ISO 14001 certification for Environmental Management.
The open-plan office space has been purposefully designed to facilitate an environment of meaningful collaboration and in-person contact and interaction between people and teams across the business.

I want to take the opportunity to thank the akp team. The transformation is fantastic and I’m sure the children, staff and local community will enjoy their new facility for many years.
The Operations and Commercial teams have been excellent throughout and have been very supportive and proactive in their approach. I would like to especially thank Project Manager John for his efforts over the last couple of weeks, which were difficult at times for reasons out with his control, but he pulled a lot of rabbits out of the hat and got us over the line. Yet again, thank you for all your efforts and hopefully I get the opportunity to work with you all again in the near future.
I would like to thank Martin McColl, Mark Smith and the team at akp for delivering the refurbishment at New Aspect House. Blantyre.
Started and completed during a global pandemic, its a project none of us will forget and it was not without it challenges.

Probably my favourite project to have worked on! A great professional team, highly knowledgeable and skilled and with a great sense of pride in what they do. I would highly recommend them.
Another successful project completed and thanks for everyone’s hard work. The setting are delighted with the end product.
School / WLC were extremely appreciative of how John and team carried out works, excellent lines of communication with school throughout. Also, the site housekeeping, co-ordination, health and safety were all excellent.
This is the second time we have used akp for a fit out project in Glasgow, and I would have no hesitation recommending them or using them again.
akp worked well on site and delivered the project as expected. I would have no concerns using your services on subsequent projects.
akp carried out the office fit out diligently and completed on time in what was a very tight timescale.
I cannot have asked for a more helpful and professional approach to the fit out. Programme completion date was forced by lease events and was not only met but at below budget.
