Ardoch Steading

Overlooking the River Dee, this hillside farmstead has been restored, reinstated, and reinvented following a decade-long project of careful reconstruction that supports Scottish craftsmanship and local tradespeople.

Using a combination of traditional and contemporary methods, Moxon Architects meticulously rebuilt the partially collapsed walls and roof of this 19th-century cattle shed, inserting frameless glass into the original apertures to preserve the building’s vernacular character. The interior, fully insulated and finished with Clayworks plaster, follows the existing volumes as a template for the new living spaces.
