Lauren’s current projects at Blight Rayner are the 30 Albert Street residential tower in the Brisbane CBD and an innovative mixed apartment/townhouse development in Sunnybank, Brisbane.

 

Lauren is one of only three winners of the sought-after Philip Y Bisset Scholarship 2017 selected from Queensland’s four architecture schools. Under a program run by the Architecture Association (AA) London, she will investigate new models of sustainable urban densification and affordability based upon case studies in Mexico City and Tokyo.

As an interior designer and (soon-to-be) registered architect I look at design simultaneously inside-out and outside-in. This also applies to cities as a whole, especially as they densify, making intersectional spaces between, and permeating buildings vital to urban amenity.
