The Laneway House

Located in the heart of a downtown Toronto neighbourhood, this laneway home is thoughtfully arranged to maximize both privacy and natural light within a compact urban footprint.

The bedrooms are positioned on the ground floor, creating a quiet and sheltered retreat from the surrounding city. Above, the second floor is dedicated to shared living spaces, where the kitchen, dining, and living areas benefit from expanded window openings, increased daylight, and enhanced views over the neighbourhood.

By elevating the primary gathering spaces, the design creates a brighter and more open living experience while maintaining a strong sense of privacy at street level.
