Ben Addy

Ben Addy is an architect, developer and builder, and founder of Moxon Architects.

Since establishing Moxon in 2004, he has built an unusually broad practice spanning architecture, infrastructure and development, from bridges and major transport projects to hospitality, private houses and work in some of Britain’s most remarkable landscapes.

Ben is particularly interested in projects where architecture, engineering and landscape come together.  Whether working at the scale of major infrastructure or an individual building, his approach is rooted in clarity of idea, material quality and a strong understanding of place.

Alongside architectural practice, Ben is directly involved in development, construction and hospitality.  Working variously as architect, client, developer and builder gives him a rounded perspective on how projects are conceived, funded, designed, procured and built.  This experience increasingly informs Moxon’s work, combining design ambition with a practical understanding of construction, cost, programme and commercial viability.

Ben lives and works in Royal Deeside and has a longstanding connection with the Cairngorms.  He is a Director of the RIAS Services Board and an external examiner at the University of Dundee and The Bartlett, UCL, where he previously ran a degree unit.  He is also Treasurer of the Braemar Mountain Rescue Team and is actively involved in businesses and development projects across Deeside.
