Situated near the centre of Queenstown, this project demonstrates a viable alternative to high-rise development, taking as inspiration the idea of a Welsh village lane. Low rise, yet dense, the detached dwellings cluster around a narrow lane, which is shared by vehicle and foot traffic.

Although repetitive in plan, each dwelling has a unique character and situation. Private terraces attached to each dwelling are linked by paths integrated into the landscape, and these encourage informal gatherings and free, safe play for children.
