Trinity Bellwoods Laneway House Clear vision, compact design brings families together By Christine Lolley
The vision came from a young urban couple who, even before the City of Toronto had released its laneway house program, wanted a sustainable home in Toronto’s highly desirable Trinity Bellwoods neighbourhood but had a limited budget. The generosity came from the parents, who gifted the young couple the space above their two-car garage on the laneway behind their house.
The Trinity Bellwoods Laneway House is a beautiful example of how generosity and a clear vision can lead to the creation of a modern home nestled in an urban laneway.
