Character / Heritage

Lanefab’s design and build teams have deep experience working with the good bones of old homes. We can navigate complex character and heritage permitting requirements, and we can bring new life to old buildings.

Cotton Drive Character Duplex

This project renovated a 1905 home in the Commercial Drive neighbourhood. The home was lifted onto a new foundation and shifted over to make space for a new duplex unit addition. See more photos of the Cotton Dr. Duplex.
