Design a two-bedroom garden suite on a narrow lakeside lot with strict setback requirements and a homeowner who wanted rental income without sacrificing backyard living space.
Our Approach

Compact two-storey layout with vaulted ceilings on the upper level to maximize headroom, laneway entrance to preserve the main backyard, and durable finishes selected for long-term rental appeal.
Features

Two bedrooms with full closets and natural light on both levels
Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams on upper floor
Full kitchen with quartz counters and stainless appliances
In-floor radiant heating throughout both levels
Private laneway entrance with covered porch and bike storage

The suite rented within a week of completion. Metrohomes handled everything — permits, design, construction, landscaping. The build quality is indistinguishable from the main house.
