Naomi Darling

Ko-LAB

Talk topic: "Doing more with less - Designing for today and tomorrow"

Naomi will speak about projects in her practice.

Naomi Darling founded her namesake practice in 2011 and has spent the years since delivering projects that embrace creative problem-solving and optimise existing site context to create

spaces that are socially responsible and environmentally conscious. “I love working with

sites’ natural conditions and topography; taking design from the broad strokes through to

the detail and translating vision into stages of design. I enjoy the exploration of materials,

where they are coming from and how they are coming together to define the space.”
