The property owner was interested in maximizing the size of the first floor in order to accommodate an in-law suite on the first floor.

This was achieved by utilizing the sloping site and putting the two car garage in the basement. This also allowed the garage to be adjacent to a large mudroom and storage area for strollers, roof racks and other equipment. The final layout was very supportive of the organizational needs of a large family. The first floor also included a large kitchen adjacent to a double high family room surrounded by a balcony.
