An original 1980's post modern building, the Spokane Central Library in Eastern WA, was renovated by the joint venture design team of G4 of SF, and Integrus of Spokane. Lara was thrilled to add another city hub library to her vast libraries archive.
Another impressive library renovation by the team of Group4 from San Francisco, and Integrus of Spokane, Shadle Park Library abuts a massive highschool playfield complex, a swim park, and an historic water tower, and incidentally is where Lara's husband (architect Robert Zimmer) completed high school!
The first residence Lara has shot for Montana firm A&E, the modern and box-like volumes of the Billing Rims House sit gracefully under the 100' rock ledge in a perfect symetry. Amazingly captured with just a half-hour of sunshine in a 36-hour shoot window!
Commissioned by Stephenson Design Collective and LEICHT Kitchens, Lara shot the Oblicque House, which sits boldly on Lake Steilacoom outside Tacoma, WA. With gorgeous gilded, monochrome and muted interiors palette, there are no right angles to be found!
This masterful 2nd gen affordable housing project on Seattle's famed Yesler Terrace, designed by the talents of Hewitt Seattle, was a pleasure to capture on a bright late summer day, with pops of orange, yellow, silver and white, and a great crew of models and interns to boot!
