Scotland’s Most Innovative Property Developer for over 35 Years
AMA Homes have been at the forefront of residential development in Edinburgh for over 30 years, creating iconic, landmark buildings that have helped shape the architectural landscape of the city. This has been achieved, in no small part, by their willingness to engage with the communities that neighbour their developments and their desire to create buildings that enhance their surroundings and stand the test of time.
Every AMA development is unique because each project begins with a blank piece of paper. Outside of their dedication to design excellence and commitment to quality, there is no AMA ‘style’. Architects are chosen on their suitability for a particular project and they build a team of contractors around them who are able to deliver their vision.
Pavilion has been designed by Richard Murphy Architects, a world-renowned practice that has 20 RIBA awards to its name. From the very first Maggie Centre in Edinburgh, which was nominated for the 1997 Stirling Prize, to his own home on Hart Street, which won the RIBA House of the Year in 2016, Richard Murphy has created ground- breaking, innovative buildings and Pavilion is a worthy addition to this exceptional body of work.

Pavilion sits at the east end of Kinnear Road, a wide cul-de-sac lined with large private houses and exclusive apartment blocks. Despite its city location it is surrounded by green space, from the playing fields of Edinburgh’s top public schools, to Inverleith Park and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
AMA homes are designed to be low maintenance and energy efficient, and Pavilion is no exception. The high performance double-glazed window units sit in powder- coated aluminium frames, providing excellent heat retention, a weathertight seal and many years’ service before repainting will be required.
Like much of the building, the front elevation is stylish, understated and beautifully detailed. Finished in natural sandstone, the walls are clean and crisp, punctuated by columns of tall windows, which fully open onto glass balustrades. At the penthouse level, the walls are set back and staggered, allowing recesses for small balconies accessed via patio doors. These walls are finished in a hard-wearing and stylish zinc cladding.
But it’s the rear of Pavilion which grabs all the design headlines. From ground floor to penthouse level, each apartment’s south facing elevation is fully glazed with patio doors opening out onto private balconies, which are staggered to ensure that everyone gets to enjoy the sun. This glazed elevation is designed to make the most of the stunning views across the playing fields to the majestic Edinburgh city centre skyline.
The two main door apartments may not quite enjoy the views of their upper floor neighbours, due to the height of the existing garden wall, but this is more than compensated by patio doors, which open onto a private terrace and gardens.
The interior of Pavilion is just as elegant as the exterior. It’s designed to break down the barriers between the public rooms, which form the heart of any home, and blur the line between internal and external space, offering a solution for the way people want to live today.
Inverleith is a wonderful area, with the vast Inverleith Park and neighbouring Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh at its heart. It has a range of boutique shops, bars, restaurants and cafés on Inverleith Row and nearby Stockbridge, as well as a Waitrose and five other major supermarkets all within a 10 minute drive. There are excellent local schools, including Broughton Academy, as well as range of nearby independent schools, such as Fettes College, Edinburgh Academy, and Stewart’s Melville College.
There are good public transport links to the city centre and easy access to the Edinburgh cycle network. Pavilion is also well placed to access the motorway network north and west.
Large 2 and 3 bedroom apartments with allocated, secured underground car parking spaces.
