Carriage House – Traditionally, a ‘carriage house’ was a building used as a stable, or storage for carriages in 19th Century England. Many of these original buildings have now been converted to provide residential housing with storage or a garage underneath. e newer purpose built Carriage House typically features a single or double garage on the ground oor with living accommodation above.

Laneway House – e term ‘laneway house’ means a form of detached secondary suite that is typically built onto a pre-existing lot, and o en opening onto a back lane. ese homes are usually built on ground level, and would generally be built where typically a garage would be.

In a nutshell – both of these terms are used for a secondary suite on your property, and are primarily only de ned by the location in which they are built. Whether this means a ground level unit installed onto a foundation, a unit craned onto an existing garage or building, or a garage/building that is site built to t the size and layout of your lot. ese designs will provide you with an a ordable, e cient and easy solution to creating additional living space on your property.
