Founded in 2009, Smallworks pioneered laneway housing in Vancouver—the first North American city to legalize laneway housing—and has since built 400+ small-scale homes. A design-build firm rooted in community, livability, and innovation, Smallworks continues to advocate for the delivery of infill housing, helping families stay in the neighbourhoods they love.

As part of Open Studio, step inside our HQ to meet the team behind the movement and explore homeowner story screenings, small-space design stations, and conversations with the people creating thoughtful infill housing.
