"I have worked with Doug Laing in various capacities for over
25 years. Whether it is building a project for clients that he
designs homes for or partnering with him to design and build
unique and distinctive dwellings on the ocean or in the
mountains of Northern California there is always one
constant...his attention to the wishes and desires of his clients.
Doug's working knowledge of construction techniques and
professional training as a creator of environmental co-
existence sets him apart from all other architects or
designers. His passion for life and for those with whom he
works is evidenced through the final rendering of every project
and the lifelong relationships that remain with his clients....a
very rare occurrence." -Tom Huiskens, Peoples Places

"Doug was great to work with from beginning to end. My wife
and I benefited from the initial visits with Doug to develop the
understanding of our family’s needs and lifestyle. These initial
meeting led to an easy design process, which moved along
smoothly and efficiently. He was able to capture our ideas and
implement them. My experience as a general contractor and in
the industry for 24 years has provided exposure to a variety of
architects and designers, and I have no regrets in asking
Doug to be our architect. In fact, after seeing his portfolio and
some of his projects in person, it was an easy decision. We
are extremely pleased with the architectural services provided
by Doug and highly recommend him to others."

“In 1993 my husband and I discovered a perfect piece of
property..(on which).. to build our dream house..(and)..our
realtor referred us to Doug Laing. We met with Doug and
formed a strong bond immediately. He quickly understood the
themes that excited us, and equally importantly,
comprehended what we did not want. There was a very good
match of temperament and aesthetic orientation. We had quite
a few ideas; Doug built on those ideas and proposed creative
variations.The result is a house that truly reflects our ideas
and our style. Our friends all comment that this is the most
architecturally beautiful house they have ever seen. Others
have commented that they can feel our love when they enter
the house, or that Paul’s presence in the house is so strong
even though he is no longer with us. I would not change a
single thing about our experience creating this house. And, 14
years after the completion of this house, I love it as much as I
did at the beginning.”

I have been fortunate to be able to work with Doug for several
years on a variety of projects in the local area. Doug has the
breath of knowledge to look at practically every aspect of
residential and commercial work.As an
engineering/structural/civil firm, we are able to work with our
clients to design and prepare construction documents to
facilitate the building process. Doug is quick to determine the
critical path and facilitate the project. He is a very talented and
accomplished preliminary designer, has a strong
understanding of building construction documentation and is a
good communicator. Several of the projects we worked on
were not the standard applications and we relied on Doug to
help us with code interpretation. All the projects Doug worked
on were successfully designed and/or constructed. My staff
and I look forward to working with Doug in the future.
