Parkdale Laneway House Built Using Passive House Principles

May 29, 2023/in Laneway Houses and Garden Suites /by Raphael Lopoukhine

Nestled in Parkdale, Toronto, we’ve transformed six underutilized parking spaces into a sustainable, light-filled laneway house, offering a unique blend of comfort and energy efficiency. Leveraging passive house principles, this project features in-floor radiant heating, efficient insulation, and an innovative “breathing wall” for continuous ventilation, all whilst maintaining a clean design aesthetic. This transformation not only pays homage to Toronto’s garage vernacular with its robust exterior but also opens new vistas for sustainable, urban living.

After working on a number of projects on their previous home, our clients had recently moved into a new home and needed a full bathroom on their 3rd floor – where their two kids’ bedrooms were located.

We repurposed the existing closets into a 3 pieces bathroom, installing heated tile floors, a pocket door, a new toilet, a sink, and a shower/bath. We also repainted the stairs and installed a stair runner.
