Garden Suites in Toronto

Garden suites for Toronto backyards

A garden suite is a detached home in your rear yard, designed for the many Toronto lots that don't back onto a laneway. Toronto's garden suite bylaw opened this option city-wide, and we design suites that work within its setback, height, and tree-protection rules while still feeling spacious and bright.

What we handle, end to end

• Lot-specific feasibility and zoning assessment
• Concept design through permit and construction drawings
• Committee of Adjustment variance applications where needed
• Builder and City of Toronto coordination

Small footprint, full home

Garden suites live or die on the details — how light enters, where the soft landscaping sits, how privacy is kept between the suite and your main house. As registered architects we resolve all of it on paper before you build, so your backyard gains a home, not a box. It's a lasting addition to your property's value and flexibility.
