Most of the people we work with are homeowners and small investors, not big developers. Maybe you just bought a lot and want to know whether a fourplex actually pencils out. Maybe you want a garden suite or laneway house in the backyard for rental income. We do one thing and do it well: multiplexes, garden suites, and laneway suites across Toronto. We stay in it with you from the first zoning question to the day tenants move in.
Dream it. We start with what you’re trying to do with the property and how many units make sense, then help you shape the strategy and the criteria for the design.
Design it. We pull together zoning, the Toronto building code, and your space needs to test feasibility. Floor plans, 3D visualizations, and mood boards turn it into a design proposal you can take to permit.
Build it. We help you find and vet a general contractor, and stay with you through construction to the finish.
Everything a Toronto multiplex, garden suite, or laneway project needs, under one roof. Hire us for a single piece or for the whole path from feasibility to finished build.
Before you design anything, we check whether the lot can actually carry a fourplex, sixplex, garden suite, or laneway house. Zoning, site constraints, how many units realistically fit, and rough numbers, so you buy or commit with your eyes open.
When the project needs a bit of relief from the zoning bylaw (a setback, a height, some coverage), we prepare the minor variance application and take it to the Committee of Adjustment for you.
We coordinate the engineering, assemble the full drawing package, and liaise with the City to get your permit submitted and through. You don’t chase the city. We do.
Unit layouts and interior renderings so you can see each suite before it’s built, and show it off when you’re leasing or selling.
We run the build from permit to handover, help you pick a contractor, review the site, and make the day-to-day calls so the project keeps moving while you focus on everything else.
The five services above bundle into four ways to work with us. Start with a quick feasibility check, or hand us the whole thing, from a lot you’re eyeing to tenants in the door. As a working architect and a property investor, Victoria brings the design lens and the numbers lens to every tier.
Thinking about a property but not sure it works as a multiplex, garden suite, or laneway? We walk the site with you, flag the risks that actually matter, and rough out the units and the numbers, so you buy with confidence instead of guessing.
For hands-on builders who just need solid drawings. We take the project from concept to a permit-ready set, engineering coordinated, minor variance handled if needed, and the package submitted to the City, without paying for support you don’t want.
Building for the first time? Everything in Permit Ready, plus interior design and renderings and detailed drawings so you can compare contractor bids fairly, pick the right team, and stay on track with regular site visits.
Prefer to stay hands-off? We manage the whole thing from permit to final walkthrough, contractor selection, site reviews, and the everyday calls, so your multiplex or garden suite keeps moving while you focus elsewhere.
