Big Ideas, Small Space: A 708 Sq. Ft. Marvel

Who says small can’t be powerful? This 2-bedroom, 2-bath laneway home in Vancouver makes 708 sq. ft. feel expansive through smart design and multi-functional living.

Vaulted ceilings, split-level layout, and attic-style dormers bring volume and light, while space-saving innovations—like a second bedroom accessed through the master and a washer/dryer hidden in kitchen cabinetry—maximize functionality. Even mechanical systems are cleverly tucked beneath the stairs.

With no wasted hallway space, every square foot is purposeful. Highlights include sleek minimalist kitchen cabinetry, a dramatic veined tile bathroom wall, and engineered hardwood flooring throughout.

Outside, stained cedar soffits, dormers, and modern gray stucco give timeless curb appeal. Energy-efficient systems, reflective windows, and dual heat pumps ensure comfort and sustainability.

This small-footprint home proves that with thoughtful design, less really can be more.
