Made for life in the NT
Home means something different up here. It’s where the air feels warm all year round, the afternoon light spills into every room, and weekend barbecues turn into balmy nights under a blanket of stars. At G.J. Gardner Homes, we create home designs for the Northern Territory that reflect how locals really live.
Whether you’re envisioning a low-maintenance layout in Darwin or something special for the rural block in Humpty Doo, we’ll help you turn it into a reality. Our Northern Territory house designs are shaped around lifestyle, climate, and practicality — because every family deserves a space that fits just right.
Where your story takes shape
Our house plans in the Northern Territory are crafted with the climate in mind, prioritising natural ventilation, shade and airflow to keep your home cooler for longer. We’ll help you orient your layout to make the most of the morning sun and capture every cool breeze.
With options for outdoor entertaining, separate living zones, multi-generational layouts and modern upgrades, we’ll shape a home that supports your everyday life, whether that’s early starts or sunset dinners with your nearest and dearest.
And with over 40 years of experience, our team of local builders will guide you through council approvals, planning regulations and every step of the build, so you can focus on what matters.
Because the best homes don’t just shelter you — they grow with you, every step of the way.

Explore our modern and contemporary homes, small block house designs, split-level layouts, duplexes, and knockdown rebuilds, all crafted for comfort, style, and functionality.
Are your designs built for the Northern Territory’s climate?
They sure are! From the tropical storms of the Top End to the dry heat of the Red Centre, our home designs in the Northern Territory are made to thrive in every season. The Northern Territory’s varied climates mean we take your exact location into account when designing your home.
With a careful attention to detail, we tailor each home to enhance comfort and efficiency, whether you’re enjoying a sunny Dry Season in Darwin or a crisp winter morning in Alice Springs. That might mean wide eaves for extra shade, elevated ceilings for cooler interiors, or outdoor areas that feel like a natural extension of your living space.
Can I include a pool or a large outdoor living area in the design?
Of course! Outdoor living is a huge part of life in the NT, and we offer plenty of home designs to accommodate.
If you have a vision for a sparkling new pool, we can help integrate it into your layout during the design stage. Looking for a starting point? Get some inspiration from our blog here.
