Unlocking the Potential of Garden Suites in Ontario
At Ela Architects, we specialize in designing garden suites that enhance property value and livability across Ontario. These secondary dwelling units offer an innovative solution for homeowners seeking additional living space, rental income, or accommodation for multi-generational families.
The Value of Garden Suites
Garden suites provide numerous benefits, including the potential for additional income, increased property value, and flexible living arrangements. As Ontario’s urban areas grow, these suites offer a sustainable way to meet housing needs without extensive new development.
Square Footage and Design Considerations
The size of a garden suite typically ranges from 500 to 1,000 square feet, depending on your lot size and municipal regulations. Each city in Ontario has specific bylaws, coverage ratios, and setback requirements that influence the buildable area. Our team at Ela Architects is experienced in navigating these regulations, ensuring your design is both compliant and optimized for your property.
Tailored Design Solutions
We take a client-focused, site-specific approach to garden suite design. Whether your vision is modern or traditional, we create spaces that harmonize with your main dwelling and outdoor environment. Our designs prioritize energy efficiency, sustainability, and functionality, using materials and technologies that meet Canadian standards.
