In addition to working on sustainable housing in Costa Rica, the IwB students were asked to develop concepts for a laneway house in Toronto. Laneways - narrow lanes around 9ft wide - sit behind many of the streets in Toronto. The idea is that there's enough space for a small housing unit to fit in there and thereby increase the urban density and combat sprawl. We were asked to design a unit just 400 sq ft. One example is shown here.
