With a global roster from Canada to Mongolia, Laney LA is a place where diverse minds gather, focused on the simultaneous pursuit of critical discourse and vibrant culture.

I have worked with the team at Laney LA on multiple occasions. They are a pleasure to work with, lots of fun too.
The office is a hive of creativity, and the homes they design push the boundaries of design.

We've had the great pleasure to work with Anthony Laney on several projects going back many years now. The Laney LA Studio is on the cutting edge of design, incorporating the latest design tools to enhance the design experience for their clients and their build partners. As a custom home builder and developer we look to our design professionals to provide us the information and details we need to ensure our homes are the best of what they can be and that our clients dreams are made reality, The Laney LA Team takes profound interest in the successful outcome of their projects through a collaborative process with all those involved. We look forward to having the opportunity to work alongside Anthony and his Studio for many years to come and can't recommend their services enough for those looking to turn their dreams into reality.

Laney LA's projects never cease to amaze me. I recommended Laney LA to a friend a few years ago and they ended up completing two remarkable projects together. The firm is definitely on the cutting edge of architecture.

These guys really know how to bring it. We have worked with a number of firms in the South Bay Area, and we can only rave so much about these guys. Anthony’s is not only a visionary but he is an exceptional listener. We see a lot of blueprints from a number of architects and the ones coming from this firm always seem to excite our taste buds for creativity.

As a door and window provider, I've seen countless sets of renderings and construction plans. The Laney LA team produces some of the most impressive renderings, clear construction plans, and incredible homes I've ever seen. We recently finished the 2004 Pacific Ave. project with them in Manhattan Beach. I highly recommend them to to my South Bay clients.

Anthony and I share many of the same clients, as we both serve homeowners in Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach. As a landscape designer, I am very in-tune with the firms that comprise the architectural design scene in the South Bay. The Laney LA team is one of the most creative, most passionate, and most impressive architecture studios I’ve ever seen. They leverage the most advanced 3d technology to bring their clients into their design process. The team is sensitive to the unique story of each of their clients and creates homes that help tell that story. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high-touch, high-tech design service.

Threelight CGI - 3d renderings
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Laney LA approached us for a project; they needed some 3d renderings produced. They required exterior renderings for a home in a snowy environment and needed the images to reflect a wintery scene.
From the beginning of the project, they knew exactly what they wanted in terms of design and finishes, and that made our workflow easier. So, we managed to create a very satisfying and unique result for their client and us.
It was great working with Laney LA. They were well prepared and professional. We found the experience very straightforward, with a great result showing the potential in each one's field.
We would recommend Laney LA to people who need a great architectural studio that is filled with talented people to work with.

I recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Anthony, Alex and the Laney LA team on a large resort project in Malibu. Laney LA was highly recommended to me by another architect with whom I have worked in the past. I was not disappointed. The following 6 points best describe the experience of working with Laney LA:
Listening. Laney starts the process by listening. Many architects start by talking, by telling their clients what they will do and how they should think. Laney starts by listening to the goals and dreams of their clients.
Thinking. Next, they think. Seems like an obvious step, but many architects just start designing. They do what they have done before. Laney starts by analyzing the goals and dreams of their client, the site, the surroundings. Before they start designing, they create a strategy based on all the many project parameters.
Flexible. They listen, think, but recognize that there is always more than one solution, and that every client is different. They recognize that projects are personal to clients, and that tastes vary. Their work, as a result, is consistent in quality, but varies in style. This is a clear sign that they listen, think and remain flexible.
Passionate. Working with Anthony reminded me of why I became an architect. He is passionate about what he does, and this excitement rubs off on his whole team. Your project won’t simply be another job for Laney, it will be a passion project.
Professional. Laney knows what they are doing. They know that every client project is a major investment. They take schedule, budget and quality seriously. They respond, they follow up and they get it done.
Pleasurable. Last but not at all least, it is simply a pleasure to work with the Laney team. That’s important. Every project takes months or years. The relationship between client, architect, consultants and contractor will occupy much of a client’s life for the duration. Working with Anthony and his team will make the experience a pleasure.
Listening, Think, Flexible, Passionate, Professional and Pleasurable.

Having always admired the Laney LA projects in the South Bay, we got to work with them recently and it was great. Anthony is very passionate about his projects and clients.
We were looking for a material that was no longer available but with persistence we managed to track it down out of state and had the material shipped in to complete the project. This goes to show how far Laney LA will go to make their clients happy.

Rave reviews for Anthony, Eugene and their crew. We hired them to create plans for a tricky remodel requiring multiple compromises due to city requirements because of nonconforming elements we hoped to keep. I don’t think any other form would have tried so hard to “catch our vision” for something that many would have just torn down. Their restoration was brilliant, their persistence exemplary, their vision masterful, and to top it all off, they were the nicest people ever to work with. Loved every minute of the experience. Highly, highly recommend.

We contacted Laney LA while in escrow to see what home additions were possible for our home in the Redondo Hollywood Riviera. The location and lot size were perfect for us, but the home was too small and we knew we needed to remodel and add additional square footage. We had to sign off on contingencies within 14 days of opening escrow and Laney LA's timely and comprehensive responses to us about the required yard set backs, height restrictions, and process were invaluable in making the decision to finalize escrow. They took a lot of worry, speculation, and concern off of our plate, and we are SO thankful.

Laney LA’s is all about positive energy and good vibes! We used their team to assist our backyard remodel design, including a new swimming pool, pergola and outdoor kitchen. Our whole intention of the project was to have fun with the design phase and Laney and his team definitely enabled the fun throughout! We had them do many iterations of layouts and design and they were always so understanding with all of the changes and requests throughout! We had so many options and they helped us narrow down the best design plan for the space. Throughout construction they were by our side in material selection and change orders all the way down to pool feature wall tile and cool lighting that we would never have come up with on our own. They were always available for quick contact at important phases of construction to answer little but very important questions. Their attention to detail is phenomenal. The end result is we now have the backyard of our dreams that we will hopefully enjoy with our family for a very long time!!
