Laravel single application but for front and admin area

If I will create some application on Laravel (for example it will be project.com) and in this same application I will develop admin area (with ACL, users management, etc.). Can I use it like project.com for front-side but backoffice.project.com for admin area in same application? Thanks.

You can maintain both applications in the same Laravel project and use grouped routes and filter your routes by domain.

Route::group(['domain' => 'backoffice.project.com'], function () {
   // your BACKEND routes...
});

Route::group(['domain' => 'www.project.com'], function () {
   // your FRONTEND routes...
});

You can complement the route comportment with middleware too. 

// in this case all backend routes will be passed to auth middleware.
Route::group(['domain' => 'backoffice.project.com', 'middleware' => 'auth'], function () {
   // your BACKEND routes...
});

Important:

Observe that the Laravel documentation talk about Sub-Domains Routing. In this case, the approach of the documentation is the use of dynamic subdomains, as can be seen in the following example.

Route::domain('{account}.myapp.com')->group(function () {
    Route::get('user/{id}', function ($account, $id) {
        //
    });
});

In this case, {account} is a route parameter that can be used inside of the route group.

You can see (and read) more about Laravel routes here: https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/routing

Yes, you can group routes by domain.

Since Laravel 5.3 you can group them like this:

Route::domain('project.com')->group(function () {
    // Your frontend routes
});

Route::domain('backoffice.project.com')->group(function () {
    // Your backend routes
});

Before Laravel 5.3 you can group them like this:

Route::group(['domain' => 'project.com'], function () {
    // You frontend routes
});

Route::group(['domain' => 'backoffice.project.com'], function () {
    // You backend routes
});
