Studio Lara is a small, sensitive, full-service architectural practice.

Studio Lara Architects are, by design, a nomadic architectural practice - focusing our energy by living on site with the future residents. With that said, we are often in Marrakech, Morocco and Miami, Florida.

We practice radical sustainability - not just in material choices, but in cultural sustainability and preservation. We create environments that the residents feel deeply proud of, responsible for, and care for in the long term. We live on site, with the future residents, for an extended period - prioritizing deep cultural understanding and preservation as the basis for our design practice. 

We design structures that reflect the values, unique climate, and culture we’re designing in. We are fighting against architecture that ignores its context, and working towards a deeply sensitive, unique way of creating. 

Studio Lara Founder, Olivia Haynie Lara, is a licensed and registered architect with the Florida American Institute of Architects, AIA and her license number is AR102736. 

Olivia recieved her Architectural education at Cornell University in New York.  She then worked on cultural projects  at Perkins & Will in Chicago, and OMA and PAU in New York City.  She left the corporate architectural world  to begin her own practice out of a desire to design sensitive buildings that enabled cultural preservation and humanitarian design.
