Build the lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of

Life in Hobart calls for thoughtful design that feels good in every season—especially in a climate where natural warmth, energy efficiency and liveable flow make a big difference. Our modern single-floor house designs in Hobart are shaped by real life. Think kitchen islands where homework gets done between dinner prep, sliding doors that open onto sun-drenched courtyards, and living zones that feel connected but never crowded.

Whether you’re working with a sloping block, planning your first build or downsizing for the next chapter, our single-storey homes offer flexible options to suit all kinds of families, budgets and blocks. With over 40 years of experience and more than 60,000 homes built across Australia, G.J. Gardner brings the know-how to help you shape a layout that truly fits—today, and well into the future.

FAQs

  • What are the benefits of single-storey home designs in Hobart?

    Single-storey homes are great for ease, accessibility and comfort. With no stairs to navigate, they suit every stage of life, from young families to retirees. Plus, they’re easier to maintain, more energy-efficient to heat and cool, and help keep living simple and streamlined. With everything on one level, there’s no wasted space—every room is easy to access, easy to use, and designed to work hard for your lifestyle.

  • Do your homes suit Tasmania’s cool climate?

    Absolutely. As Australia’s coldest state, Tasmania calls for designs that lock in warmth and let the sun do its work! Our homes prioritise orientation, insulation and ventilation to help regulate indoor temperature and improve energy efficiency.

  • Can I customise your single-storey designs?

    Yes, our single-floor house designs in Hobart can be customised. For example, you can flip layouts, add a butler’s pantry, include an extra living area or tweak the design to suit a sloping block. Your New Homes Consultant will help tailor a floorplan to suit your vision, lifestyle and site conditions.

  • Do you offer smaller or narrow block designs?

    We do. Our range includes modern single-floor house designs for narrow or smaller lots, perfect for urban infill sites or compact subdivisions. These homes are designed to maximise light, flow and privacy without compromising on comfort.

  • Where do you build around Hobart?

    We build across greater Hobart, including suburbs like Glenorchy, Howrah, New Town and Kingston. We also service Launceston, Devonport and Burnie if you’re looking beyond Hobart. With a local team of experienced home builders, we understand council requirements, local land characteristics and what works best for Tasmanian conditions.

  • How do I get started?

    Simply chat with your local G.J. Gardner New Homes Consultant to explore designs, pricing and build options. Whether it’s your first home or your forever home, we’re here to help you build with confidence and clarity from the start.
