🏡 How Leo & Sarah Transformed Their Backyard into a Luxury Coach Home Rental
Real Case Study: A 1-Bed, 1-Bath Designer Coach Home in Ottawa
When Leo and Sarah envisioned their Ottawa backyard, they saw more than just open space—they saw opportunity. Today, that vision has materialized into a stunning 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom coach home, boasting high ceilings, an open-concept design, and luxury finishes.
This elegant addition not only enhances their property's value but also generates $1,800/month in rental income.
Here's how they brought this dream to life—and how you can too.
✅ The Challenge: Navigating Easements and Maximizing Space
Leo and Sarah's urban lot presented unique challenges: limited space, a huge existing easement that restricted building placement, and the desire to maintain their backyard's aesthetic appeal.
After consulting with our team, they discovered that their property was eligible for a detached coach home under Ottawa's zoning by-laws. We worked closely with city officials to navigate the easement restrictions and optimize the coach home's placement.
🛠️ The Plan: Crafting a High-End, Open-Concept Retreat

Conducting a thorough zoning and setback analysis
Designing a 426 sq ft, 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout with soaring ceilings and expansive windows

Overseeing the entire construction process to ensure quality and compliance
