Moxon has created a new guesthouse, glasshouse and artist’s studio for an artist and architect client on a hillside farm in the Cairngorms National Park,
British studio Moxon Architects has used huge beams of Douglas fir to construct its new studio building in a Scottish national park.
Located within the Cairngorms National Park, the office occupies a former quarry site, which most recently was used as a tip.

Moxon Architects founder Ben Addy saw the potential to transform this wasted site into a building that complements the natural landscape, and also takes advantage of its scenic outlook.
The building he and his team designed and built, Quarry Studios, does exactly that. It is built from simple materials – locally sourced timber, cast concrete and stone gabion walls – and features large windows overlooking the highland countryside.
