Laneway Homes

Centurion Properties designs and builds incredible laneway houses for homeowners in Vancouver, BC. By getting to know our clients and their unique needs, we create laneway homes that are highly functional and efficient, while they also complement the homeowner’s style.

What is a laneway house?

A laneway house is located next to a primary residence, either in the backyard or the space that’s normally reserved for a garage. Although laneway homes are smaller than the primary residence, they are detached and permit a fair amount of privacy for residents.

Laneway houses have become increasingly popular in Vancouver and other densely populated cities in Canada, providing more diverse and affordable housing solutions.

Based on Vancouver’s building regulations, you can build a laneway home on any lot 32 feet or wider in any RS single family zone.

Why build a laneway house?

Laneway homes contribute to the overall sustainability of our city. By providing Vancouver with more affordable housing options, laneway homes make the city far more accessible to diverse groups of people. Since residents of laneway homes are given the unique opportunity to live close to where they work, shop, and play, these custom homes are a smart housing solution for students, professionals and many others. And finally, because laneway homes typically open onto the city’s urban lanes, these areas become more green, liveable and safe.
