Laura Clark

Architect, OAA

Laura Clark is an Architect at Hobin Architecture, where she brings a thoughtful and highly collaborative approach to a diverse range of projects, including mixed-use developments, master plans, institutional work, and multi-unit residential communities. Since joining the firm in 2021, Laura has become a valued member of the team, contributing across all phases of a project—from early concepts through approvals and detailed construction documentation. Her ability to coordinate seamlessly with clients, consultants, and municipal authorities helps move complex projects forward with clarity and care.

A graduate of Carleton University’s Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism, Laura holds a Master of Architecture and was awarded the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada Medal for her thesis work. Her strong technical foundation and attention to detail support well-executed, buildable design solutions.

“Architecture is a profession that aligns with my desire to aid in the creation of spaces that shape people’s experiences of the world. I am interested in the ways people gather, interact, formulate, and retrieve memories while developing connections to the places they inhabit. I believe everyday architectures are not merely mundane elements of the built environment, but rather potential sites of nostalgia and bestowed significance. The profession of architecture allows meaningful design to transform spaces into places and provides people the opportunity to deem their environments valuable. The ability to contribute to these long-lasting, personal, and collective experiences is what continues to inspire me.”

Laura is also passionate about mentorship and education. She has served as a contract instructor and recently taught ARCS 2105 (Studio 2) at Carleton University, reflecting her commitment to supporting the next generation of designers while continuing to develop her professional expertise. She is also an active and engaged member of Hobin Architecture’s social committee, contributing to firm culture and fostering a strong sense of community within the studio.
