Kimberley Burton-Lynch is a South East London based architect with a background focused on the discussion of civic spaces in urban situations. At the root of her work is the question of how people take ownership of space and how a sense of place manifests in the community, and the role the architect has in effecting this.

Her thesis project The Civic Junction investigated key civic clusters in Dalston Junction, Hackney. She is a past recipient of the Chelsea Arts Club Trust’s Charles Knevitt Award in recognition of her thesis project. She was also awarded the University of Nottingham Department of Architecture and Built Environment Urban Design Award 1st Prize for 2019, and received a commendation by the Nottingham and Derby Society of Architects for Most Responsive Design to the Urban Realm and Placemaking Award 2019.

In 2022 she became a mentor through Women In Architecture and is continuing her work with resident steering groups for Lewisham Homes. She currently works as an architect at Atomik Architecture working on projects ranging from residential developments in Grade II Listed buildings in London, through to a concert hall and academy of music in Antigua.
