Options for Garden Suites in Mississauga

When you are looking to build a new garden suite in Mississauga, there are a few options available for homeowners. The City of Mississauga now offers pre-approved garden suite plans with two designs to choose from: a studio or a one-bedroom suite. Alternatively, design a custom garden suite with the help of the team at Acadia DC.

Pre-Approved Studio Garden Suite

The studio garden suite is a compact yet versatile option, offering 40 square meters (430 square feet) of open-concept living space that includes areas for cooking, living, and sleeping, as well as a separate three-piece bathroom. Although the structural layout is fixed, this pre-approved option allows you to personalize your studio suite with custom finishes such as siding material, windows, doors, and flooring.

By choosing a pre-approved studio garden suite, you can save significant time and money. Our team will guide you through the process, ensuring that the site and grading plans are completed to meet city requirements.

Pre-Approved One-Bedroom Garden Suite

For homeowners looking to add a bit more space and privacy, there is the option for pre-approved one-bedroom garden suites in Mississauga. This option provides 55 square meters (600 square feet), featuring a separate bedroom, living area, kitchen, and a three-piece bathroom. Similar to the studio option, the size and layout are already predetermined, however our team will help you customize your garden suite with exterior and interior finishes that reflect your personal style.

This is the perfect solution for those needing additional living quarters for family members, guests, or even as a rental opportunity.

Custom Garden Suite Design

If the pre-approved suites don’t quite meet your needs, Acadia DC offers custom garden suites in Mississauga that are tailored to your specific vision. Our in-house designers are ready to create a truly unique garden suite that seamlessly integrates with your backyard.

When you choose to design and build a custom garden suite with us, you’ll have the freedom to select every detail, from size and location to materials, design, layout, and more. While this level of customization might seem overwhelming, our experienced team is here to make the process smooth and enjoyable. With years of expertise, we’ll guide you every step of the way, from the initial consultation to the final walkthrough.

Garden Suite Permits, Bylaws, and Drawings

You will need a building permit before starting construction on your new garden suite in Mississauga. Regardless of whether you have selected a pre-approved plan or decided to build a custom backyard suite, the same permit is required.

At Acadia DC, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Your permit application must include site and grading plans, an Applicable Law Form, and, if applicable, an Application to Register a Second Unit. If your garden suite doesn’t meet zoning regulations, you may also need a minor variance through the Committee of Adjustment.

Acadia is great!!! Our project is a bakery in Toronto and Acadia was able to guide our permit process very efficiently. We needed a zoning variance and building permits. They coordinated everything so that there was minimal time between the 2 processes.

The staff are INCREDIBLE!!! All very professional and very good at the work they do. I was panicked at a couple of stages and they took the time to explain what was happening with the project and how it’s progressing.

I would absolutely recommend Acadia, and also an amazing contractor that they sometimes work with, whose name is George – it was a great feeling to see someone so skilled at their work. Max (the owner) was incredibly patient with our questions, but also incredibly skilled at designing both the interior and exterior.
