Meet the team: Laura

Meet Laura. Laura joined our team in September 2022 and has since contributed to the successful delivery of many of our studio projects. With a get-up-and-go attitude, Laura has an exciting energy and enthusiasm for designing with care for the environment. 

She has answered a few questions to help you all get to know her a bit better.

Tell us a little bit about you, your background and your role at spacelab_?

Since completing a master's in Interior Architecture at the University of Portsmouth, I joined the team at Spacelab as an entry-level interior designer. Spacelab_ has taught me the ways of workplace design and more, collaborating on some unique and interesting projects from conceptual stages through to construction.

What inspires you?

With an appreciation for the natural world, I am inspired by the relationship we have with the environment and how we can evolve with it in the context of the climate crisis. This translates into making sustainable decisions both in my personal life and through design.

What do you like the most about your work?

I like designing for people, creating real designs which will impact their daily lives.

What would your ideal project be?

The ideal project is something with arches! I love interesting architectural features which add character to a project. Working on existing buildings, especially with arches or a unique material framework which can tell a story, makes a really engaging project for me.

What made you want to join the lab_?

I really like the flexible and collaborative atmosphere.

If you could change one thing within the industry, what would it be?

I hope that our attitude towards sustainable development continues to be at the forefront of design and technological innovation. Moving to Mars won’t make our Earth any better.
