We build beautiful small homes

For every stage of life

Laneway homes tailored to your next chapter.

A common theme that comes up when transitioning into a new life stage is “less is more.” Let us help you carve out your next steps in an intuitive, spacious, and beautiful laneway home.

More spacious than they look

We believe that every space should be designed to be beautiful, functional, and efficient. Our unique home layouts ensure that you maximize your property’s available square footage.

Materials & Finishes

Our core vision for interior design is an honest approach to materiality (if it looks like wood, its wood), simplicity and an understated elegance.

Interiors

We work with you to make a home that honours the character of your family and the neighbourhood – either by blending in or standing out.

Exteriors

It’s all in the details

Every Smallworks home is unique and custom designed to suit the specific needs of our clients. As pioneer in Vancouver laneway homes, we can guarantee that every square foot of your laneway home will be beautiful, functional and efficient.

We place emphasis on functionality, which is why all of our appliances have been hand selected based off of valuable client feedback.

Appliances

Luis Barragán once said – “In the creation of architectural space, what is essential is the play of shadow and light.” (We also have a broad selection of options for lighting the home through more modern means)

Lighting

Millwork is the soul of your home, which is why we make capturing your lifestyle a priority through a variety of standard and custom options.
