Turn Your Backyard Into a Valuable Home
Your property has hidden potential.
A well-designed laneway or coach house can:
✔ Generate stable rental income
✔ Increase your property value dramatically
✔ Create space for family without sacrificing privacy
✔ Future-proof your living situation
But success depends on one thing:
A design that the city will approve — and a layout that truly works.
That’s where we come in.
We Specialize in Laneway Homes — Not General Design
Laneway and coach houses are one of the most regulated housing types in:
📍 Vancouver
📍 North Vancouver
📍 West Vancouver
Every municipality has different:
- Zoning bylaws
- FSR calculations
- Height limits
- Setbacks
- Parking relaxations
- Servicing requirements
We design projects that work on paper, get approved, and get built.
✨ Our Core Services
1️⃣ Laneway Home Design
From initial idea to permit-ready drawings, we create a custom home that:
- Maximizes your allowable floor area
- Feels open, bright, and spacious
- Protects privacy for both houses
- Optimizes outdoor space
- Works with your construction budget
This is not a template.
This is a property-specific, buildable design strategy.
2️⃣ Coach House Design (North & West Vancouver)
Coach houses require a completely different approach.
We help you:
✔ Confirm eligibility
✔ Navigate strict guidelines
✔ Design within FSR limits
✔ Integrate with the main house
Result: A valuable second home that looks like it was always meant to be there.
3️⃣ Small Homes & Compact Living Solutions
Perfect for:
- Downsizing
- Aging in place
- Guest houses
- Mortgage helpers
- Multi-generational living
We design small spaces that live bigger than their square footage.
4️⃣ Feasibility Studies
Before you invest thousands in design or permits —
we tell you:
✅ What you can build
✅ How big it can be
✅ Where it will sit on the lot
✅ What challenges to expect
This step alone can save you months of time and costly redesigns.
5️⃣ Permit Drawing Package
A complete, city-ready package including:
- Architectural drawings
- Code analysis
- Zoning compliance
- Coordination with consultants
We don’t just draw plans —
we prepare a submission strategy.
💰 Designed for Real Return on Investment
A laneway home is not just a construction project.
It’s a financial decision.
When designed correctly, it can:
💵 Create long-term rental income
📈 Increase resale value
🏡 Allow families to stay on the same property
🧓 Provide a future downsizing option
We help you make smart design choices that support these goals.

- Strategic
- Permit-focused
- Build-ready
