Flexible new home designs for ACT living

Layouts that grow with you

Life doesn’t stay still, and your home shouldn’t hold you back. Our new home designs in the ACT give you room to adjust as your needs change, whether you’re buying your first place, making space for a growing family, or downsizing without giving up comfort. Every floor plan can be shaped around the way you actually live, from the kitchen layout to where the bedrooms sit.

You’ll find single-storey homes suited to compact blocks, double-storey designs that make the most of vertical space, and larger layouts with room to spread out. If you want something built entirely around your block and your brief, our custom home designs give you that freedom. And with ACT planning changes opening up more options across established suburbs, dual occupancy and investment-focused designs are worth a close look too.

Different blocks call for different approaches, and different life stages call for different homes. A narrow inner-north site, a sloping section in Woden, or a wider block in Gungahlin each need a design that suits the land. We’ll match the right plan to your site so the finished home feels made for it.

Designed for Canberra’s climate and blocks

Local knowledge from experienced ACT builders

Canberra’s seasons swing from crisp winters to dry summers, so every design factors in comfort year round. Here’s what we consider when planning your home:

Orientation that captures winter sun through north-facing living areas while eaves shade rooms from summer heat
Energy efficiency that meets the ACT’s 7-star NatHERS thermal standard, helping keep power bills down across the year
Cross-ventilation and window placement to move air through the home and reduce reliance on cooling
Layouts and zoning suited to your block, whether it’s a standard suburban lot or a narrow infill site
ACT planning requirements, including the Missing Middle Housing reforms that now allow more homes across RZ1 and RZ2 areas
Insulation, glazing and building sealing chosen to hold a comfortable temperature through cold Canberra mornings

FAQs

Can I customise one of your new home designs in the ACT?
Yes, every one of our new home designs in the ACT can be adjusted to suit your block, lifestyle and preferences. You can shift room layouts, change facades or add outdoor living spaces, and your New Home Consultant will guide you through custom design options along the way.
What types of new home designs do you offer in the ACT?
Our range covers single-storey and double-storey homes, small lot designs, knockdown rebuilds and split-level homes. Whether your block calls for something compact or more spacious, there is a design to match.
Do your designs suit the ACT climate and energy standards?
They do. New homes in the ACT must now meet a 7-Star NatHERS thermal performance standard under the ACT’s updated energy efficiency requirements, and our designs use orientation, insulation and ventilation to help meet this standard while keeping your home comfortable through Canberra’s cold winters and warm summers.
How much does it cost to build a new home in the ACT?
Build costs depend on your block conditions, chosen design, finishes and level of customisation, so there is no single figure that applies to every project. Your New Home Consultant will walk you through the details and put together a personalised, transparent quote for your build.
Can I add an alfresco, pool or larger backyard?
Yes, outdoor features like a pool, alfresco area or larger backyard can be built into your plan. We will work with your block size and orientation to fit these additions in without compromising the rest of your home’s design.
How do I get a quote for building in the ACT?
Start with a conversation with one of our New Home Consultants, who will talk through your block, design preferences and budget before preparing a detailed quote. Contact us today to get started on your new home in the ACT.
