Summary
Kevin Kelly is an architect and founder with 11 years’ experience delivering complex cultural, healthcare and education projects across the UK, currently leading his own practice from London. Trained at UCL and the Manchester School of Architecture, he combines technical know-how in CAD and sub‑terranean construction with hands‑on delivery experience from roles at BDP and Heatherwick Studio, including work on the Royal Albert Hall, Great Ormond Street and the 3Ts Sussex County Hospital. He regularly examines and lectures on RIBA Part 3 topics, bringing practical insight into certification, payment and contract administration to the next generation of architects. Comfortable moving between strategic masterplanning and detailed façade or waterproofing audits, he has a reputation for stakeholder engagement and pragmatic problem solving on sensitive listed and UNESCO‑site projects. An unusual blend of language study at the Sorbonne and deep technical delivery gives him both cultural sensitivity and the communication skills to navigate complex briefs.
