Architectural Materials Lab
Like most enterprises that deal in innovation, Architectural Materials Lab—a supplier of distinctive finishes to the architecture and design industries—thrives at the crossroads of inspiration and problem-solving. “We enable highly imaginative, forward-looking material palettes for residential and commercial clients alike,” says Kelley Laekas, who established the Bay Area–based business with her husband, Adrian, in 2011 to meet the building community’s most singular custom needs. Whether sourcing specialized hardwoods, custom rugs, stone, concrete, or siding, the duo works with manufacturers worldwide—including many artisanal studios and family-run businesses—to find or invent material applications that are as stylish as they are sustainable, durable, and ethically made.
"When designers come to us, they know we’ll have quality material solutions for their projects, no matter how unusual the request."
