There are a bunch of options, we started with Domain Driven Design which I like since it organizes things while still allowing for core laravel. But you need to answer some questions first like will you support/handle multi tenancy? if so, how? Do you want features like Single Sign On? And so on. No need to answer me, thats for you to answer yourself as it may impact your layout decisions. After doing some work with the Laravel modules package from nWidart (https://github.com/nWidart/laravel-modules), there are some things I really like in there as well, which I kind of wish I had used that first. We're too long in the tooth so to speak to migrate over, and I haven't answer all my questions for that, such as how that handles vue.js, it seems very blade centric and we don't use blade at all in our app. But having a Modules folder with all of the bits from controllers, models, views, etc contained is very nice. In your case I would do some research on those things and what others here have suggested. One of the hardest things no one talks about is maintaining a large app as it grows in scope and creep. Implementing strong organization up front can be a huge help.
Take a look internachi/modular, which is a Laravel package for organizing large apps into smaller manageable chunks.
