St Mark’s Church

The Vestry, St Mark’s Church Portobello, Edinburgh Internal Design & Restoration

Client Location Category


The building is a Category B listed. Built in a Neo Classical architectural style, fronted with an imposing semi-circular Doric arched porch with a flat topped dome which conceals a cupola lantern that lights the inner vestibule and stair to the gallery.

In 1967, there was a fire that burned throughout the church. The lady Chapel has to be removed and the heat melted the candles at the altar.

Fabric condition surveys of the church have provided an extensive scope of repairs to several aspects of the existing building including stained glass repair & restoration, extensive plaster repairs and sustainable upgrades to the church having successfully gained grant funding form a wide number of sources.

This project includes working in collaboration with Lee Boyd Architects on an extensive internal alterations and refurbishment scheme to modernize and bring new life into the community orientated use of key spaces.

The project aims to be on site in the summer, look out for project updates on the way!
