Designed around you and your block
A home is more than bricks and mortar. It’s where weekend sleep-ins turn into sizzling breakfasts, where school bags pile up near the door, and where everyday life feels that bit more special. At G.J. Gardner Homes, we design homes in Canberra that reflect not only your lifestyle, but the unique rhythm of our capital.
Whether you’re working with a narrow block in Gungahlin, dreaming of a family-friendly design in Tuggeranong, or looking for a flexible layout that works with a sloping block near Red Hill, we’ll help shape a home that fits just right. With decades of experience and a local Canberra team who know the region, you’ll feel supported every step of the way — from first sketch to final walk-through.
Thoughtful house designs for life in Canberra
From sun-soaked mornings in winter to cool, breezy evenings in summer, our Canberra home designs are made for year-round comfort. We take orientation seriously, helping you make the most of natural light, passive heating and ventilation.
Our house plans in Canberra are all about flexibility — from dual living options and energy-efficient upgrades, to clever zoning that separates quiet retreats from lively gathering spaces. Whether you’re building your first home, forever home, or something in between, we’ll help make it truly yours with personal touches, quality finishes and thoughtful inclusions that just make sense.
Let’s turn your Canberra block into something you can’t wait to come home to.
FAQs
Can I customise my Canberra house plan?
Absolutely. Every floor plan we offer is a starting point — not a set of rules. You can customise the layout, extend living areas, shift walls, and refine finishes to better suit your block, lifestyle and preferences. Our Canberra New Homes Consultants will guide you through your custom design options, creating a home that works for you now and adapts as life changes.
What types of homes do you offer?
We’ve got plenty of options to choose from, whether you’re after a compact design for a small block, a split-level home to work with hills, or a spacious dual occupancy layout to bring extended family closer. Our range includes modern single-storey homes, double-storey builds, narrow lot designs, and everything in between — all crafted to blend function with beautiful design.
Are your homes designed for Canberra’s climate?
They sure are! Our homes prioritise orientation, insulation, and ventilation, helping reduce energy use and keep you comfortable through every season.
Can I add a pool or outdoor living space?
Of course. Whether it’s a covered alfresco for afternoon cuppas or a poolside patio for summer entertaining, we’ll help you plan a home that makes the most of sunny days and balmy evenings. Let your New Home Consultant know what you’re dreaming of — we’ll help bring it to life!
Do you offer home designs across Canberra and surrounds?
Yes — we build right across the ACT and surrounding NSW regions. We’ll adapt your home design to suit your block, local council requirements, and lifestyle goals.
