DESIGN TEAM

Laura Marion is the principal architect, founder, and creative director of Flight Architecture.

Inspired first, foremost and always by the natural landscape, Laura is dedicated to place-sensitive designs with a more-with-less approach to get projects off the ground. She weaves forward-looking design and sustainable building practices with historic forms of the Rocky Mountain west. She guides the studio to develop motifs, details and materials that answer the landscape to result in an heirloom property designed to last for generations.

Laura comes from a long line of architects and interior designers practicing in Colorado; design was in the atmosphere of her upbringing. Laura is a licensed architect with a Master of Architecture from the University of Colorado, Denver, with undergraduate training in fine arts from Oxford University. She has been practicing architecture since 2008, and has found her passion curating the architectural and interiors experience for rural and ranch properties rooted in family, history and the story of the land.

Laura had the privilege of practicing with Surround Architecture of Boulder before founding Flight Architecture. Laura splits her time between Steamboat Springs and Boulder Colorado with her husband, Mark, and two children.
