Omni Edinburgh Building
A major new Edinburgh cinema complex has opened. The building forms a key component in Allan Murray Architects’ design for a £73m mixed-use development at Greenside Place in Edinburgh’s city centre.
Omni includes a Warner Village 12 screen multiplex cinema, a five-star hotel, a health + fitness club, bars and restaurants.

The elevations respond to the context of the city and employ Stancliffe sandstone (from Derbyshire) and Jura limestone (from southern Germany). However, the extensive areas of curtain wall glazing help to create a bold, modernist statement that engages, but does not mimic, the historic urban character.
Perhaps the most distinctive element of the scheme is the eight storey, oval-shaped corner tower at the ‘prow’ of the site. It is fully glazed and cold cathode lighting has been employed by consultants Arup Lighting to heighten the drama and ensure its 24 hour presence.
The Greenside Place site was the last large gap site in Edinburgh’s east end and has been the subject of a number of aborted proposals over the past forty years (including a new headquarters for BBC Scotland). Allan Murray Architects were selected in 1998 following an invited international architectural competition, whose entrants included the Richard Rogers Partnership (London, since renamed RSHP), Page & Park Architects (Glasgow) and Weintraub De Stefano (Chicago).
The practice confounded the client’s expectations of what was originally proposed by extending the parameters of the site and reconfiguring the relationship between the office (Calton Square) and the leisure buildings (omni edinburgh). They were commissioned to develop these initial proposals and planning consent was successfully secured for this extremely sensitive location within Edinburgh’s World Heritage Site.
