People, place and the stories that bind them underpin Dr Kim Roberts' work as an architect, heritage consultant, and researcher. Kim seeks new perspectives within existing environments by closely observing physical fabric, reading traces of the past and listening to the communities who know these places best.
Her work focuses on the future of heritage, advocating for approaches that balance conservation with change to support positive, sustainable and equitable design outcomes.

With more than 24 years' experience, she specialises in the conservation, adaptation and re-imagining of significant buildings and landscapes of world, national state and local heritage significance, providing trusted, evidence-based advice to public and private sector collaborators.
