GARDEN SUITES & URBAN INFILL
Nivo Design helps homeowners, developers and investors unlock the potential of underutilized residential properties through thoughtfully integrated garden suites and urban infill solutions. By combining zoning analysis, feasibility studies, architectural design and permit coordination, we create context-sensitive developments that increase housing opportunities while respecting neighbourhood character and enhancing long-term property value.
Toronto Continues to Support Garden Suites Across Residential Neighbourhoods
The City of Toronto permits garden suites on many residential properties as part of its Expanding Housing Options in Neighbourhoods (EHON) initiative. Garden suites provide additional housing opportunities within existing communities while supporting gentle density, sustainable growth and more efficient use of urban land. The initiative encourages well-designed infill development that complements surrounding neighbourhoods and contributes to Toronto’s long-term housing strategy.
