Observatory House was built over 200 years ago and although the City Observatory site itself is wheelchair accessible, unfortunately the apartment is not due to steps and staircases which cannot be ramped.
The House is located on the summit of Calton Hill (105m above sea level). Drop-off by car or taxi is permitted via the Calton Hill access road; however, due to its unique location there is no resident parking on the Hill for apartment guests.

Look closely at the walls of Observatory House and you will find a house within a house. Nestled against the straighter lines of a later era sits an older circular gothic tower – the oldest surviving building on Calton Hill.
Our vision for Observatory House was to restore its heritage features, while connecting its interior to the times we live in and to contemporary artistic practice.
We commissioned contemporary artists to create integrated new artworks specially for the renovated House.
