Light, Landscape and Architecture

Laura Johnston Studios transforms public spaces through light, colour, and form-creating environments that inspire, comfort, and connect. Since 1996, Laura has delivered large-scale projects across the UK, from sculptural installations and her celebrated Lightworks series to a therapeutic garden for critical care patients at James Cook University Hospital.

Her pioneering PhD in the architectural use of thin-film glass and ongoing research with Durham University’s Enlighten Project shape a practice grounded in innovation and well-being. Guided by the belief that our surroundings directly affect how we feel, Laura continues to create uplifting spaces that enrich daily life.
