Moxon Architects
AJ Corus 40 Under 40
After seven years as a key member of Wilkinson Eyre Architects’ bridge team, Ben Addy established the London-based practice Moxon Architects in 2004. Its workload ranges from research projects to buildings currently on site, including Makkina Studios in west London, a lightweight reproducible bridge for use in Cairngorms National Park in Scotland, and the renovation of a large London townhouse into highly serviced studio and conference space for a car designer. The practice also provides specialist consultancy services to more established architectural and design firms.
In 1999 Addy won the AJ/Bovis non-members award for work in the Royal Academy summer show. He was a Civic Trust Awards assessor in 2004.
Fin-top House
Fin-top House by Moxon Architects is a proposed solution to the way Tokyo’s land prices and zoning are forcing people to commute long distances to work. Designed to be used singly or in stacks, it is suitable for locations such as unused car parks or gap sites. The pods contain two bedrooms, dining and living space, plus a creative play zone for children. The materials used for the structure and skin have been chosen to minimise the building’s energy use.
