VANCOUVER LANEWAY

GVHBA Ovation Award Winner 2012
– Best New Build under $500,000

Laneway housing is a relatively new concept for people in Vancouver, and it is hard to imagine that this 2 storey, 2-bathroom house is only 900 square feet.

Cleverly designed by Architrix Studio, this Vancouver Laneway project ingeniously uses a small amount of space to make a huge impact. Complete with all the trimmings, this 900 sq. ft. home is only tiny in size. We sought to maximize living space in every way imaginable.
