About this listen

This week, we explore West Vancouver’s approach to laneway housing through its Coach House Guidelines, a framework designed to balance neighborhood character with modern housing needs.

The District’s guidelines structure development across three key scales: neighborhood context, site considerations, and coach house or laneway home design, ensuring these secondary dwellings enhance existing residential areas while offering benefits like rental income and multi-generational living.

From siting and landscaping to architectural style, materials, and privacy, we break down how West Vancouver’s regulations prioritize harmonious integration with established neighborhoods. Whether you’re a homeowner, developer, or curious about BC’s housing solutions, this deep dive into the District’s guidelines provides actionable insights for building coach houses that respect community aesthetics while addressing affordability and livability.

Join us as we unpack the nuances of West Vancouver’s approach to laneway housing and its role in shaping sustainable, inclusive neighborhoods.
