Landscaping is never just the finishing touch. When it’s considered early, it becomes part of the way a home feels, functions and flows.

From garden outlooks and outdoor entertaining areas to window placement, natural light and the way each room connects to the landscape, thoughtful design helps bring the outside in and extend the inside out.

It’s that seamless connection that makes a home feel bigger, calmer and more liveable.

A beautiful home doesn’t stop at the back door, but it does start with Blackett Homes. Trusted by Canberrans for over 45 Years.

A special rebuild is taking shape in Hughes.

After around 40 years in the original home, the owners are creating a new two-storey residence on the same beautiful, leafy block they know and love.

On such an established site, careful planning has been key, particularly when it comes to protecting the surrounding trees as construction continues.

The 15m lap pool has now been poured and will eventually become an indoor pool, connected to the home by a light-filled pool house. The external brickwork is now complete, with feature brick detailing continuing inside to bring texture, warmth and character into the home.

For now, it’s bricks, scaffold and frames, but the vision is already coming through: a considered new home for the next chapter, in a place that already holds decades of history.

We've said it before, and we'll say it again. A well-considered home build goes beyond how a space looks on a sunny day. It’s about understanding light, warmth, airflow, orientation and the way your home will feel year-round. When planning a custom build, it's important to consider things like:

- Natural light and how to maximise it
- Passive solar design
- Environmental conditions
- Energy efficiency
- Indoor-outdoor flow

Thinking about building? Winter is when the right design really shows its value.

A well-designed home isn’t just about how it looks, it’s about how it feels, especially this time of year.

Think north-facing living areas that capture the sun, double glazing that keeps the warmth in, and ducted heating that makes every room comfortable from the moment you walk in.

If you’re planning your next home, these are the details worth getting right from the start. Get in touch through our website.

An alfresco isn’t just an add-on, it’s that seamless connection between indoors and out that makes all the difference.

With the right orientation, shelter, and flow from the main living areas, an alfresco quickly becomes one of the most used spaces in the home.

From brick and render to timber accents and feature cladding, every material choice plays a role.

A well-designed exterior balances texture and contrast, durability for the climate, and timeless finishes that won’t date.

Light upstairs, dark downstairs. It’s not by accident.

Upstairs bathrooms are often kept light, bright, and timeless. Think natural light, calm tones, and a space that feels fresh for everyday routines.

Downstairs? That’s where you can be a little bolder. Darker palettes create a moodier, more luxurious feel.

It’s a simple contrast that makes a home feel more considered, more layered… and a lot more interesting.

Progress is underway at our latest display home in Curtin!

Internal plastering has begun, with curved feature walls, skylights and curved coffer ceilings all taking shape. Integrated LED strip lighting throughout the ceilings and recessed curtain pelmets will add a beautiful ambient feel to the home.

We can’t wait for the scaffolding to come down so we can finally see the brickwork and render finish. 👏

Next up: painting, cabinetry, flooring and fit-off, bringing us one step closer to opening in the second half of 2026.
