The Small Home represents the culmination of everything we’ve learned over 16 years and 400 laneway homes about small scale design.

Embracing the concept of “less is more,” the Small Home strikes the perfect balance between functionality and modesty.

By adhering to a fixed layout, we can offer significant cost savings, eliminating the budget creep that often accompanies custom designs.

Simply put… It’s a beautiful, efficient, and functional home.

    The Layout

    Step into the Small Home, and you’ll find a thoughtfully designed interior.

    The humble yet functional kitchen serves as the heart of the home, while two delineated spaces provide flexibility to accommodate your unique lifestyle. To ensure the most productive use of square footage, the attic acts as discrete storage space.
