Portfolio . Lara Maes
Welcome to my portfolio. Here you can experience a first impression of some of my work I accomplished during my study and spare time.
​
The most important keywords, to me, in architecture are usefulness, openness, brightness and privacy. All of these keywords put toghether should result into an attractive, sustainable and timeless design. Architecture is not just a subject you chose to study, it's part of your daily life. One is continuously busy collecting information and inspiration wherever one goes. When I’m in town or in the countryside, I notice the difference in privacy, when I’m in in a sportsgame I’m examining the structure of the gymnasium, when I’m waiting at a bus stop I’m examining the congestion. Architecture doesn’t start when one enters the classroom and stop’s when one leaves, it is a constant practice that can never shuts down one’s inspiration. This is what I love about architecture, it is a never ending story.

About me
Besides the love for architecture I have a passion for the world. I am raised by travellers which taught me not to leave one place undiscovered. These experiences gave me worldwide friends, memories and business contacts in the field of architecture and other.
Whenever you can't find me under a palmtree, I'm most likely playing volleyball.
Cheers!
