Project overview

Refurbishment of Category B-listed Moat Brae House, Dumfries.

The project involved the creation of a Centre for Children’s Literature within the house and gardens that inspired JM Barrie to write Peter Pan. The project involved the refurbishment and restoration of the existing Georgian house as well as the erection of the new open plan single-storey extension wings to the East & West. Work was also extended into the gardens with the development of the space to improve usability along with the installation of bespoke play equipment.
