AIA, LEED GA

Principal, Director of Design

Laura Gilmore, Principal and Director of Design at Newman, guides the creation of work defined by design excellence, sustainability, quality documentation, and positive contribution to the communities we serve. The daughter of a real estate developer, Laura grew up watching her father revitalize historic buildings in Boston’s North End. It is here that she developed a deep appreciation for placemaking and the impact thoughtful restoration can have on the renewal of urban space and fostering of community. Undoubtedly, her early experience in the world of construction, development and property management formed the foundation of her journey into architecture and continues to shape the way she approaches every project starting from the big idea down to the smallest detail.

With every project, Laura continually looks for ways to invigorate and revitalize urban spaces, connecting people to place, and buildings to context through transformative sustainable design. Through her leadership, Laura has helped cultivate a collaborative and inspiring work environment focused on knowledge sharing and innovation. Driven by her strong work ethic, she is dedicated to leading teams to design solutions that exceed client expectations and create meaningful outcomes for the communities involved.
