Canada's leading architecture and construction practice dedicated exclusively to laneway and garden suites.
Our preliminary design phase illustrates the possibilities for your laneway / garden suite, and demonstrates multiple options for site planning alongside massing diagrams and resolved interior floor plans. The package also includes a complete project pro-forma, summarizing all foreseeable expenses, prospective income, and stabilized property value. It will contain everything you need to understand the viability of a laneway / garden site on your property, and clearly outline the process to achieve it.
Our design process is standardized for efficiency, with options that allow you to customize the layout, aesthetic, style, finishes, energy efficiency, and features of your personalized laneway / garden suite while still conforming to the as-of-right by-laws. Once you have made your selections and approved the design and budget, our team manages and coordinates municipal approvals. We streamline the process while keeping you engaged and in control.
Our designs have been crafted to maximize material and spatial efficiency while simplifying construction. Building on laneways / rear yards is a unique challenge. Access is limited, there are overhead obstacles, and staging space is often non-existent. Our experience building on laneways / rear yards accounts for these realities, and our construction process minimizes disruption of both your primary residence and adjacent neighbours. We strategize, organize and supervise construction while you watch your laneway suite come to life.
