Ready-To-Build Laneway House/ Suite Designs In Toronto

We have developed three prototypical designs for Laneway Houses that can be easily adapted to most laneway sites. You can choose from one of 3 types - The "Classic Coachhouse”, The “Garden Cottage”, and The “Bungalane”. What’s different about our research is our core focus on green design. In particular, we are showing that Net-Zero laneway houses are not only possible, but practical to build, and that even a Passive House or Living Building Challenge certified ultra green laneway house can be achieved.
