Jury citation
Turner Avenue Homes is a finely executed example of the missing-middle housing strategy applied sensitively in a Brisbane suburb with distinct neighbourhood character. The private development comprises a single residence, which is respectful to the street, and three attached dwellings at the rear that overlook a beautifully designed, shared garden. Light and ventilation are cleverly integrated into the houses through layered courtyard spaces that also provide each dwelling with privacy and retreat. Pedestrian and vehicle access are thoughtfully resolved via a pergola link to the street, making wayfinding clear and taking cars underground. The materiality and craft in Turner Avenue Homes is exceptional, and the carefully resolved concept, integrated landscape and sympathetic architectural design make this an exceptional development.
Turner Avenue Homes is located in New Farm, Queensland on Turrbal and Jagera Countries.
