Lauren Jolin
Founder & Architect
Lauren grew up along the Encinitas coastline of Southern California, in a home bordering a native chaparral canyon. She spent much of her childhood exploring sandstone outcrops and building forts and small shelters in the canyon. These early experiences sparked a lasting curiosity about the natural world, while sculpture classes in high school deepened her love of making things by hand and led her toward architecture. She went on to receive her B.A. in Architecture from the University of Southern California.
Her career began in Encinitas with Jonathan Segal Architect and Stephen Dalton Architects. She later joined Ward-Young Architects in North Lake Tahoe, working on custom homes shaped by mountain climate, rugged sites, natural materials, and a close relationship to the landscape. In 2024, she founded Lauren Linet Design in Bellingham, Washington.
Lauren is drawn to the collaborative and exploratory nature of architecture. She takes time to understand how her clients live, respond thoughtfully to what is already present, and find opportunities unique to each home and site. Her work brings together materials, daily life, and landscape to create places that feel personal, grounded, and naturally connected to their surroundings.
Outside the studio, Lauren is happiest wandering through alpine wildflowers, searching tide pools for small creatures, experimenting with watercolors, learning Portuguese, or enjoying a backyard picnic with her partner and their two cats.
Lauren is a Registered Architect in the State of Washington.
