THE BRIEF
The owners wanted a contemporary custom home that maximised connection to the rear yard and outdoor entertaining areas while providing functional family living spaces. The design needed to feel open, practical and highly liveable, while remaining sensitive to the site's constraints and local planning requirements.
DESIGN RESPONSE
The home was planned around a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience, with the main living areas opening directly onto a spacious rear entertaining zone. Early collaboration with the owners and Blue Mountains Council included a pre-lodgement consultation, helping identify planning requirements early and supporting a smooth Development Application process. The result is a well-resolved custom home that balances functionality, natural light and everyday family living.
PROJECT OUTCOME
Blaxland House demonstrates how thoughtful custom home design, early planning and clear council consultation can streamline the approval process and improve project outcomes. The completed residence delivers generous family living spaces, strong indoor-outdoor integration and a contemporary architectural character that sits comfortably within its Blue Mountains setting.
