The laneway suite design located in the Bloor West neighborhood of Toronto establishes a transition in densification between single family homes and apartment living. The gentle density project allows for 2 variations of living within the design. A 2 bedroom family home and a single bedroom apartment merge in forms. The up-reaching wooden form transforms through the interior and exterior containing the major programmatic elements allowing for a free flowing plan that is translated through a lighter space that surrounds and interacts with the wooden form. Ultimately, this infill project pushes the boundaries of residential living in the suburbs of Toronto, and acts as an example for the future of gentle density moving forward by activating laneways.
