Keppie completes state of the art digital media centre


Keppie is pleased to announce the completion of the £7.5m former Jute Mill conversion in Dundee into a contemporary workspace for the city’s creative media industry. Originally Seabraes Mill, the building has been renamed Vision and will create 13 suites providing a modern dynamic business environment for this creative sector.

European and private funding helped deliver the necessary and environmental improvement work to open up this 20-acre brownfield site, a former railway goods yard. The redevelopment and extension of Seabraes Mill by P4 Property (Holdings) Ltd., is the first building in the new Digital Media Park, and the wider Seabraes Yard project will help raise Dundee’s reputation as an international centre for excellence.

This is the biggest development in Dundee in recent years and is seen as providing an important symbol between history and the future. The jagged edge roof shape of its original is preserved, an external elevational treatment has been added and new planes of stainless steel reflect light and change colour depending on viewpoint.
