Design a Space That Moves With Hobart’s Rhythm
Hobart is a city with a truly unique flavour. From the towering presence of kunanyi / Mount Wellington to the charm of Battery Point and the salty breeze rolling in from Sandy Bay, Tasmania’s capital has a charm all its own. It’s a city shaped by contrast, where old-world character meets coastline calm — and your space should reflect the way you move through it.
That’s why at G.J. Gardner Homes, we design homes that do more than look good on paper. Our home designs in Hobart are shaped by the way locals live — open where it counts, cosy where it matters, and flexible enough to grow with you. Whether you’re dreaming of a compact single-storey design in the heart of the city, a light-filled family home near the water, or a dual occupancy plan to accommodate loved ones under one roof, we’ll help you shape something that feels uniquely yours.
Local Expertise, National Strength
With more than 40 years of experience and over 60,000 homes delivered across Australia, we bring both big-picture confidence and local know-how to every Hobart home build. Our team understands Tasmanian council requirements, climate conditions and site-specific considerations — and we’re here to make sure your design not only looks beautiful, but functions and flows seamlessly too.
From heritage-friendly façades to smart layouts that welcome light and maximise space, our plans are crafted with care. And because no two homeowners are the same, you’ll have the freedom to personalise every detail — from floor plans to finishes — all with the help of a dedicated New Home Consultant.
FAQs
How much does it cost to build a house in Hobart?

Do you work across all of Hobart and its surrounding areas?
Yes. We build homes across Hobart and southern Tasmania — from Kingston and Cambridge to New Norfolk and Sorell. Our local team is familiar with the region’s planning overlays, land types and lifestyle trends, so we’ll help tailor your design accordingly.
What types of homes do you offer in Hobart?
Whether you’re working with a narrow city lot, an acreage block or a sloping site, we have a wide range of designs to suit. Choose from single- and double-storey homes, split-level layouts, dual-occupancy builds, or contemporary designs made for coastal or rural living. Whatever your lifestyle, there’s a plan ready to be made yours.
Can I include a large outdoor area or alfresco zone?
Of course. We understand that outdoor living is a big part of life in Hobart — whether it’s for entertaining, relaxing or just enjoying that crisp Tassie air. Our home designs integrate alfresco zones, courtyards and backyard spaces seamlessly into your plan.
