Kirsty Ballantine

Kirsty grew up and studied in Edinburgh, in the midst of Adam’s Georgian New Town and the medieval Old Town, which has instilled in her a passion for historic buildings and their conservation.

She is keen to use traditional methods of construction as well as modern approaches to achieve high quality design, and appreciates the importance of detailing and the minutiae. Having qualified in 2011, Kirsty is a fully Chartered RIBA Architect and is  registered with the ARB.

Kirsty attended and completed The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), Building Conservation and Advanced Building Conservation Courses.
