For the past few years, Galit has been working closely with a builder to design the perfect laneway suite for Benji. Now 20 years old, Benji is ready for a space that reflects who he is and supports the life he deserves, one with purpose, dignity, and
independence, while still ensuring he has the assistance he needs.
The suite is being built in the backyard, allowing Benji to have his own home while staying connected to his family and familiar routines. The design process has focused on what will make Benji feel comfortable in a space that truly belongs to him. Every detail has been planned with care, from layout to accessibility to creating an environment that supports his daily living.
Here are some photos of the ongoing project. We are hoping that the suite will be finished in the new year, and we can’t wait to see Benji settle into his new space!
