This 890 square foot 2-bedroom 1.5-bath laneway suite will become a forever-home for the homeowner’s aging parent. Our team developed a planning scheme custom tailored to the homeowner’s immediate and long-term needs, working to a modest construction budget. The ground floor living space offers a cozy open concept dining, kitchen, and living area with a powder room and building services linearly aligned. The second floor hosts a principle bedroom and large walk in closet with a rear-oriented secondary bedroom sharing a well appointed common bath. The building’s facade utilizes a two-tone modern cladding scheme that accentuates the building’s geometry with grey brick complimented by board and batten siding that provides a classic, yet modern aesthetic to the building geometry.
The Pape Laneway Suite exemplifies the balance of beauty and practicality, challenging the notion that these considerations are mutually exclusive. This unit illustrates how laneway suites offer the opportunity for families to live, work, and grow together in Toronto’s urban neighbourhoods.
