Garden Suite Design & Building Permit in Toronto, Ontario
This project involved the design and building permit approval of a new two-storey garden suite in Toronto.
The property included an existing detached house and outdoor swimming pool, requiring careful site planning to accommodate the new dwelling while meeting applicable zoning requirements, setbacks, and site constraints.
A garden suite is a separate additional dwelling unit (ADU) located in the yard of an existing residential property sometimes it is called Additional Residential Unit (ARU) or Accessory apartment.
It can provide additional independent living space for family members, multi-generational living, or rental accommodation, while making better use of an existing property and potentially increasing its long-term value and flexibility.
This project involved the design and permit approval of a new modern two-storey garden suite in Toronto.
This garden suite features a modern open-concept layout with a living and dining area, kitchen, powder room, and mechanical room on the main floor, with three bedrooms on the second floor.
The exterior incorporates clean modern lines, an entrance canopy, pedestrian access, and coordinated landscaping.

The project was designed in compliance with applicable Toronto zoning requirements and the Ontario Building Code, and our team successfully obtained the required zoning approval and building permit for the new garden suite.
