Blackburn House
Blackburn House
Custom Design
4Â Bed + 3 Bath
This family home is nestled amongst the gums, cantilevering dramatically over the sloped site so it feels more like a treehouse than a regular home.

The Design
With views from the site cascading down the hill towards Gardiners Creek Reserve in Melbourne’s Blackburn, this modular home crafted by Arkular harmoniously embraces the surroundings’ natural context whilst maximising the suite’s sustainable orientation.
Internally spaces are designed for life, minimising the footprint of the built form to maximise the liveability of the external. Family rooms, study spaces, day beds, and circulation have been thoughtfully planned to ensure that the family are able to thrive.
Sustainable Features
- Sustainable materials externally, including FSC Certified Timber
- Large expanses of north glazing to habitable rooms.
- Aluminium argon-filled double-glazed windows.
- Energy-efficient appliances.
