Utilizing Space and Enhancing Value in Your Small House:

Living in a small house doesn't mean sacrificing comfort or style. Under the Building Code Act and zoning by-law, you can enhance your quality of life and increase the value of your home by optimizing the available space. Here are some strategies:

1. Open Plan Design: Consider creating an open plan kitchen, diner, and living space to maximize the use of available area. Removing walls can create a more spacious and interconnected living environment.

2. Wall Adjustments: Pushing out a wall strategically can provide additional square footage. This may involve reconfiguring existing spaces to make room for essential areas like a home office or storage.

3. Repurposing Rooms: Transform spare bedrooms into multi-functional spaces. For example, a spare room could serve as a home office, a gym, or a craft room, depending on your needs.

4. Window Installations: Introduce new windows to bring in natural light and create an illusion of more space. Well-placed windows can make rooms feel larger and more inviting.

To make the most of these changes, it's important to follow the regulations set forth by the Ontario Building Act. Here's how we can assist:
