This 1,570 square foot 3-bedroom 2.5-bath East-end rental suite will occupy this uniquely configured property abutting a laneway at a side lot line. Our team devised a site plan strategy that would reserve interior area for a large living space, while providing a spacious parking pad and a dedicated private yard for the laneway tenants. The building’s geometry and apertures are devised to avoid any impact to mature trees currently surrounding the property, leveraging the existing foliage to provide passive shading and privacy to neighbouring lots. The efficient floor plan features an open-concept kitchen, dining and living space at grade, with generously-sized bedrooms and large baths above, offering a family-oriented long term living space with all the comforts of home.
The East Lynn Laneway Suite exemplifies how the Changing Lanes policy can be applied to a unique lot configuration with a goal of maximizing function, beauty, and value while maintaining an appropriate response for the context. Located footsteps from the Danforth corridor, this unit promises to be a flexible, spacious urban accommodation that enables a high quality of life, both at home and in the community.
