Modern Prefab Firm Offers Laneway Housing in BC and on Vancouver Island

Jenesys Buildings is an established building system developed by Architect Carsten Jensen on Vancouver Island. The designs are specifically suited for Laneway housing, micro housing, or simply a smaller, modern prefab home.

The system of construction is SIPS (Structural Insulated Panels), a prefabrication method that has emerged as one of the best systems in modern green building. Jenesys homes are consistently rated well above Engerguide labeling targets reaching scores of 85 to 87.  Additional benefits of the sustainable building design are sound buffering, lower energy costs, lower maintenance, and long-term building value.

Laneway housing has become a hot topic for municipalities around Victoria, Nanaimo and the Comox Valley. In British Columbia, the City of Vancouver has paved the way for many successful laneway house projects due to specific by-law and policy development for secondary dwellings. Jenesys Buildings offers no-fuss prefab options for laneway and micro housing that has been researched and developed for the greater Vancouver Area, Nanaimo, Victoria and the Courtenay. Several designs are available, and straight-forward pre-budgeted options are presented to finalize the modern design.

Architect Carsten Jensen is actively looking for a demonstration site for a Jenesys Laneway House on Vancouver Island. Ideal locations will be zoned for secondary dwellings and have the required space and set-backs to build the prefab home.

Jenesys Buildings offers a free laneway assessment to clients in BC on the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island including Victoria, Duncan, Nanaimo, Courtenay and Campbell River.
