Jasper Lane is a small inner city community of 12 attached and semi-detached houses discreetly located in a quiet residential street of New Farm in Brisbane. The need for a relatively low cost but varied design and restricted site influenced the design approach. Construction techniques and systems were designed for an economy of means but with a degree of diversity of expression.
Access is by a narrow lane from the street. All houses are generally over three levels. Each property has an address and garage to the lane, with small and large courtyard spaces to the north and south.
White registered masonry and flat-painted light sight sheeting to walls are composed with large areas of glazing and screening in both timber and aluminium in response to a need for privacy and identity.
All houses enjoy north–south orientation, excellent access to ventilation and generous outdoor living areas for maximum enjoyment of the benign sub-tropical climate.
