The Vault Custom Modern Laneway House
To complement or contrast?
Named after its diagonally vaulted ceilings, the vault poses a question in the back lawn of this 1925 home: to complement or contrast?
Perhaps the name speaks to the two homes sharing this lot—a striking black contemporary infill and a modest white craftsman-style bungalow—bridging 100 years of architectural language across just 16 feet of lawn. Maybe it’s not a leap through time, but a conversation. A study in complementary contrast.
Diagonally vaulted ceilings push the sense of space upward and outward, creating an openness that outshines many condos of a similar size.

A spacious home for two.
At the heart of the design is a fluid kitchen-living area that flows intuitively into the primary bedroom. The layout continues through a walk-through closet to reveal a spacious primary bathroom.
A retreat for visiting parents.
A second bedroom and full bathroom are tucked into the back half of the laneway, offering a comfortable and private space for guests—without compromising the core layout of the home.
A green-thumbed paradise.
The home opens onto a generous, private patio. While we wish we could take credit for this flourishing garden, the homeowners added a shed and dove straight into cultivating their lush retreat.
