Triplex Construction / Pape Village, East York

# East York Multigenerational Triplex

A wartime house lot in Pape Village rebuilt as a triplex, with an accessible ground unit for parents and two units above for the owners and a tenant.

## The Challenge

The family wanted parents, adult children and a rental on one lot. The existing wartime house had shallow footings and a low basement, so converting it would have been expensive and still produced small units.

## Our Approach

1.  Priced a conversion and a rebuild side by side; the rebuild delivered more and better space per dollar.
2.  Designed an accessible ground unit with level entry, wide doors, a curbless shower and a ground-floor bedroom.
3.  Placed a family-size unit upstairs and a rentable unit on the lower level, each with its own entrance.
4.  Gave every unit its own meter, heat pump and HRV so households stay independent.

## The Outcome

Three legal, self-contained homes on one lot: the parents on the ground floor, family above and a tenant helping carry the mortgage, with full flexibility to rent any unit later.
