Our Project - GREENWOOD AVE LANEWAY HOUSE

This two-storey laneway house was close to 1000 sq. ft as a 16' x 30' footprint.  Included one bedroom, kitchen, two washrooms, family room and eating area. Our client chose to maintain the main floor as living space rather than as a garage.   We allowed for a parking spot on the front parking pad.

Converting a 13 - 17 ft wide Garage to a 1 bedroom Granny Flat

This is an example of a floorpan we designed for those who may have for example, a 25 ft  wide lot and would prefer to keep  a one car garage.  The 13 ft wide x 24 ft long granny flat could be built:

  1. alongside the garage instead of above

  2. for those who would prefer not to build across the complete width of their lot and would like to leave access to their laneway, this  might work

  3. Could travel the width of the property but doesn't penetrate the backyard space because its only 13 ft deep.  

This plan definitely works as a unit above the garage as well.  Stairs would be located on the outside of the garage and upwards to the entrance.
