Great design can contribute to the vitality of the broader community whilst creating value for owners by generating revenue. Gibb Architects feel that that is exactly what their flagship health and recreation centre in Leith has achieved. The building is laid out to maximise the aspect over the River Forth and creates a “lido” environment, with the outdoor pool and games courts. The stone clad series of spaces and apartments of the building sit beneath a large undulating roof and a rotunda that signals the entrance of the building. Gibb Architects design through the eyes of the venue’s users, always focusing on promoting human interaction and creating vibrant gathering places that build genuine connections. Gibb Architects design these facilities to celebrate identity and inspire a healthy lifestyle.
