Lara Calder is the managing director Calderflower Architects, a practice that challenges the conventions of aged-care, seniors living and community design. She designs refreshingly alternative buildings for older people and is motivated to deliver and positively influence the future needs for the care and accommodation of the elderly and their social relationships in the community.
Lara also participates in research and sits on various committees relating to aged care and seniors housing design. She has presented her own research and ideas at conferences throughout Australia and recently in Japan. With a professional background in health, Lara applies her experience to all facets of progressive and sustainable architecture.
