This demand for student housing results in a concentration of &#8220;student -slums&#8221;: houses that are maximized into dormitory-style rooms at the expense of traditional social living space and overall housing quality.<\/p>\n<p>The idea behind this project is to design a shared living situation. It is positioned against the proliferation of the less desirable &#8220;student slum&#8221; housing type and suggests a mix of families and students for the neighbourhood instead. The strategy is to utilize the laneway as the primary street front and balance the privacy of the bedrooms with a flexible living room.<\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7055\/6867617857_6e9178a99e_b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><!--more--><\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\" http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7196\/6867199969_33dfe1a3a2_b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"390\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\" http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7181\/6867216177_20a2a638ba_b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"364\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The laneway addition is to an attached brick house on a corner lot. It accommodates four students while maintaining the existing family house on the site. The sleeping areas for the students are separated from the main house by a common ground-floor living area, which runs parallel to a wall garden. A long table anchors all activities in this shared living space and supports the communal life of the students and the family throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7045\/6867617873_d1a0c2d895_b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"477\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While the existing entrance is maintained at the traditional front of the house, the expansion repositions the main entrance towards the laneway. The wall garden becomes part of the interior living space when the glass doors are left open in warmer weather. In colder months, the wall garden is experienced as a passageway leading from the laneway into the living room.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EDITOR: This is the second post in our series looking at the laneway housing projects created in a University of Toronto Architecture Faculty&#8217;s Laneway Housing studio led by Brigitte Shim &amp; Don Chong.
