10 George Street, Edinburgh

United Kingdom

10 George Street occupies a highly prominent position at the east end of George Street adjacent to St Andrew square in Edinburgh. The building offers 69,500 sq ft of exemplary offices over 8 floors and stunning panoramic views of Edinburgh castle and the old town to the south and the Firth of Forth to the north. The building has recently undergone a major refurbishment, sympathetically remodelling the facades and rooftop spaces, enhancing the interior spaces and replacing M&E services.

The ceiling mounted Mini Cylinder in a penny bronze finish was selected as the emergency signage. The standard luminaire has a short drop designed for conventional ceilings although factory adaptations are available to extend these to client requirements. In ornate high ceiling environments with the correct finish applied, this allows what becomes an unobtrusive item to be suspended into view to permit safe egress in an emergency situation. With the addition of a rotated graphic the standard ceiling product can be turned through 90° to create a flag mount sign. This is particularly useful in high ceiling corridors or concourses where ceiling mounting can be challenging and where the evacuation plan can be complicated.
