    Bluefield Housing as Alternative Infill for the Suburbs, 2024, Volume: 1
    Book Chapter

    Chapter 12 expands both the single and double allotment models of Chapters 10 and 11 for multiple lots, describing the possibility of the bluefield housing model to work as a dispersed housing system, particularly for housing providers that can procure individual lots over time and undertake redevelopment incrementally. This chapter presents case studies that demonstrate the potential outcome of starting the development process on a single lot before incorporating additional lots incrementally to increase housing outcomes, encourage community connectedness, and improve landscape conditions. The development is fully self-contained but designed in anticipation of potential expansion over adjacent lots or those across the laneway. The laneway house is offset from the boundary by the width of a parking space and presents a blank wall to the laneway at ground level. The housing provider, having established a long-term relationship with their neighbours, approaches the owner of the central lot with a proposition to integrate the property into a fully connected housing community where the owner can stay on in a newly renovated home of their choosing.
