Laura Killam

Category :

Laura Killam is an architect and BC native who grew up between Vancouver and an off-grid island on the BC coast. Laura established the small, full service architectural practice of Laura Killam Architecture (LKA) in 2017. With a multi-disciplinary background as an architect, exhibition designer, and film set designer, Laura brings an expertise in creating innovative and meaningful spatial environments to her work. Specializing in residential projects situated on remote, wild sites along the BC coast, the studio looks for design solutions that combine function and aesthetics to produce quiet, understated architecture. LKA strives to make spaces that are deeply connected to their site, that delight in beauty both within and outside of the building, and that respond meaningfully to a client’s needs.

Laura has been an adjunct professor and frequent visiting critic at UBC SALA and the Architectural Science department at the BCIT School of Construction. She has also taught in the Design Formation program at Langara College. She is an active member in the architecture community in Vancouver and an AIBC mentor.
