That one is depressing. I'm loving the idea of laneway homes, but too many of them are looking like dark metal bunkers.

It's hard to tell if that one is a home or just a workshop.

A proposal for a three storey laneway house behind 64 Lippincott. Is this a first? Photos taken 17 April.

3 or 4 storeys, I'd take more of them!

The one thing that would drive me crazy is the tagging in these laneways, it's out of control. It's one thing when it's a garage door, but now we're talking about the front of your home. That'd get tiring pretty quickly.

Thanks for posting that. It's actually quite a nice space, though my impression of the laneway side being a "depressing dark metal bunker" hasn't changed. I'd love to have the cash to do something like this with my own garage / laneway.

From 10 March submission to CofA is this interesting proposal on Fennings Street off Ossington and Argyle. The rebuilt house is connected to the laneway suite by a bridge on the second level. First time that I have seen that and adds to what is turning into the rapid evolution of Toronto laneway house design. Photos taken 19 April.

Nifty garden suite fronting a road on a corner lot at 361 Kennedy Road near High Park. This is one of the first applications for a garden suite that I have seen. Nice design!

From CofA.

An update on a laneway suite that I posted about a few months ago on Royce Lane.

Now complete. Photos taken 22 April.

An interesting one on Aberdeen Avenue. This is for a three level laneway house plus full basement with garage
and two bedroom unit above
with a rooftop deck. Besides the four levels of space
I wonder if the basement storage area could be turned into a living unit in the future.
