With the help of architects, mother and son create a split-level family home with five levels, and make a small laneway house feel expansive.
When Toronto contractor Zeke Kaplan and his mother decided to embark on a laneway project, they wanted to create a suite for long-term renters. Zeke’s sister lived in a single detached home at the front of the property in the College and Bathurst neighbourhood. The plan was to renovate the dilapidated century-old fishing lodge at the rear.
They contacted LGA Architectural Partners and they created a split-level home with five levels, measuring 1,500 square feet. Architect Brock James of LGA explains, “Our goal was to explore how to make a small laneway house feel expansive. “Within the compact footprint, this differentiation creates an illusion of spaciousness, making the home feel larger.”
A series of large glass doors spans the length of the space, serving to merge indoors with outdoors. “Planted roofs outside the bedroom create a feeling of sleeping in a meadow,” says James.
