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: “When designers come to us, they know we’ll have materials for all applications of their projects, no matter how unusual,” says Kelley Laekas, who co-founded the business with her husband, Adrian, in 2011 to meet the building community’s custom needs. Terrazzo-like flooring that remains elastic? Zero-waste wood cladding? No problem. The Laekas’s worldwide sources will have a solution. Adrian says, “We collaborate with designers to find—and often invent—singular, sustainable materials with both performance and style.”
