Garden Suites & Laneway Homes Designed for Modern Living
Smart, Flexible Living, Right in Your Backyard
Add value, versatility, and comfort to your property with a private, purpose-built garden suite.
Functional, Efficient, and Thoughtfully Designed
Also known as laneway homes, coach houses, additional dwelling units (ADUs), or even tiny houses, garden suites are an ideal solution for homeowners looking to expand their living space without altering the main residence. Whether you’re creating a rental unit, private guesthouse, or multi-generational suite, Magnolia Fine Homes designs and builds custom garden suites that are functional, efficient, and built to last.
Constructed using ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms) for maximum energy performance, sound insulation, and fire resistance, our suites combine smart design with long-term value. We help you navigate local zoning, design approvals, and every detail in between, so you can create something truly meaningful, right in your backyard.
What to Expect from Our Custom Garden Suites
We guide you through every step, from exploring possibilities on your property to move-in day, with transparency and care throughout.
01
Personalized Consultation
We begin by understanding your goals, whether it’s for family, rental income, or more functional space, and assessing your property’s potential based on local bylaws and zoning. For many clients, the primary purpose is creating a safe and independent home for aging parents or offering affordable housing for kids who are priced out of today’s market.
02
Custom Design & Permit Support
Working with our trusted design partners, we’ll create a tailored plan that fits your lot and maximizes space and usability. We’ll also help you navigate municipal approvals and timelines.
03
High-Efficiency Construction
Once permits are secured, build time is fast, typically 2 to 3 months. We use ICF construction for greater durability, comfort, and performance in compact footprints.
04
Move-In or Rent-Out with Confidence
Whether for personal use or income potential, your garden suite—whether considered a laneway home, ADU, or tiny house—is finished with the same craftsmanship, timeless details, and structural quality we bring to every Magnolia project.
