He was born in 1921 and studied architecture at the University of Southern California before serving in the United States Army during World War II. After the war, Lareau worked for several prominent architecture firms in Los Angeles, including the firm of Richard Neutra, who was one of the most influential modernist architects of the 20th century. Lareau's experience working with Neutra helped to shape his approach to architecture and design. In the 1950s, Lareau established his own architecture firm and began designing a variety of residential and commercial buildings throughout California. His designs were characterized by their clean lines, use of natural materials, and incorporation of the surrounding environment into the overall design. Some of Lareau's most notable works include the Marmont Residence in Hollywood, which is now a designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument, and the Brant House in Brentwood, which was designed for the art collector and publisher Peter Brant. Lareau's contributions to the mid-century modern architectural style continue to influence architects and designers today. His work has been celebrated for its elegance, simplicity, and attention to detail, and he is regarded as one of the pioneers of the modernist movement in architecture.
