Inverleith House

5 April 2022

Helen Lucas Architects Ltd are excited to announce that we are currently working with the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh to reinvigorate the Grade B Listed Inverleith House. The project will establish design solutions to sensitively refurbish and upgrade the garden’s key creative programmes venue, amplifying the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh Arts Strategy to establish Inverleith House as Climate House and be both ecologically and sustainably focused. 

 
Inverleith House was designed in 1773 by David Henderson and built for James Rocheid in 1774. It has been the residence of the Regius Keeper (Director) of the Royal Botanic Garden and in 1960 it housed the new Scottish Gallery of Modern Art, which in 1984 moved to the building of the former John Watson’s Institution on Belford Road. Since 1986 the house has been used as an exhibition space by the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
