Experienced Conservation Architect joins Southwest team

— 15 Nov 2023

Earlier in the Autumn, Jonathan Rhind Architects were delighted to welcome Miriam Kelly to the team. Miriam will be based in our Somerset studio, and along with our other Architects will be working on projects across the southwest. Miriam brings with her considerable knowledge and experience of working on historic and listed buildings as we broaden our team of architects with conservation skills and experience.

Miriam, who joins the Practice as Associate Director, is an accredited conservation Architect and SPAB Scholar with over twenty years’ experience working in the heritage sector. She has lectured extensively on conservation and adaptive reuse both in the UK and the US, where until recently she worked specialising in historic conservation and cultural heritage.

She has also served as Design Advisor and Heritage Assessor for several charities and advocacy groups. Miriam’s interests lie in architectural conservation, contextual new design and making old buildings more sustainable.

Since joining Jonathan Rhind Architects in September, Miriam has launched straight into several ongoing conservation projects including St Michael’s Mount, National Trust condition surveys at Stourhead and Antony House and conservation works to a Grade I listed church in North Devon. She is also working on three Grade II* Listed historic houses in Devon and Cornwall.
