Toronto Laneway Housing Project
Design & Build with Lanescape
We helped shape Toronto's laneway and garden suite bylaws and have guided over 200 homeowners from feasibility to construction. Work with Canada's award winning team dedicated exclusively to garden suites and laneway homes.
What are laneway suites?
Laneway suites are secondary dwellings constructed behind traditional street-facing homes on lots abutting a public laneway. They increase housing flexibility, animate underutilized space, and provide housing options close to community amenities. Laneway suites provide housing for loved ones, generate income, and create live-work opportunities.

What are garden suites?
Garden suites are detached secondary dwellings located to the rear yard of a principal residence. They are intended to be a modest-scale separate housing unit that integrates sensitively within existing neighbourhoods. Garden suites effectively extend the permissions for laneway suites to residential properties that do not benefit from frontage on a public laneway and fulfill provincial housing policy that requires improved housing flexibility for homeowners and families.
