This 1,000 square foot, 3-bed 2-bath laneway suite will become a long-term rental suite with the potential to house the homeowners’ extended family in the future. Benefitting from a well-sized property, the proposed structure is set back from the Southern lot line to permit passage to the garden from a recessed parking pad while providing Southern window exposure. The building geometry is derived with a subtractive approach to the maximum zoning envelope. Reveals and overhangs at the laneway encourage privacy to the living space and provide an opportunity for surface parking and outdoor space while limiting impact on the interior floor area. The two-tone minimalist facade is clad in vertical wood siding and standing seam metal providing the perfect contemporary expression to this elegant, yet budget-conscious secondary dwelling.
Located just steps from the Bloor West corridor, the Mission House Laneway Suite illustrates how contextually sensitive design can yield a comfortable, functional space that seamlessly integrates with its surroundings.
