EDEN LOCKE APART HOTEL
127 GEORGE STREET, EDINBURGH, EH2
Ahybrid of apartment living and hotel accommodation, Eden Locke recently opened its doors in the heart of the Scottish capital. The historic Georgian terrace has been refurbished by architect Matthew Grzywinski of New York’s Grzywinski+Pons, who talks us through the project: Our aim was to restore the building to its former glory, while also retaining and celebrating its heritage. We wanted it to be inviting and comfortable, with touches of subtle grandeur. The main colour palette is pastel green and pink, with
stone grey and bursts of mustard yellow for warmth. Polished-brass fixtures are a nod to the 18th century. The name Eden Locke was inspired by the Garden of Eden, so we’ve used a lot of plants to add texture and life. The pale green sofa [above] was specifically designed for Eden Locke and is the centrepiece of every room. To recreate this look, play with natural
light. Don’t be afraid to mix soft pastels with pops of bold colour. And use plants to add texture – they can make a big difference. lockeliving.com
