Kirsten Haggart is an Associate Director at Waugh Thistleton Architects, the world’s leading architects in the field of mass timber. With over 20 years of design experience working across sectors, Kirsten’s strength lies in designing site sensitive developments through the management of stakeholders and engagement with collaborators, successfully navigating public consultation and statutory authorities to pilot proposals through the planning process.  

A passionate advocate for low carbon architecture, Kirsten manages WT's international research projects, including our three ongoing Horizon 2020 projects which each examine the potential for timber construction. She also serves annually as a Wood Awards judge and is a member of the NLA Net Zero panel.

Throughout her career Kirsten has developed projects and concepts that push boundaries and change mindsets. From the pioneering Murray Grove, which altered the global perception of how CLT should be used, to MultiPly, a carbon neutral timber pavilion for the V&A Museum which demonstrates how engineered timber structures can contribute to the circular economy, her work challenges the status quo.
