Designing Homes That Reflect the Way Canberra Families Live

A boutique Canberra design practice with over 25 years of award-winning residential work — & a reputation built entirely on results.

Adam Hobill Design is a boutique residential building design practice based in Narrabundah, Canberra. For over 25 years, we have designed custom homes, extensions and renovations for discerning families across the ACT — homes that are as considered in their planning as they are beautiful in their execution.

Our clients are people with clear taste and high expectations. They want a home that works beautifully for their family — that earns its design through the quality of light in the living room, the way the kitchen flows on a Sunday morning, the calm of a bedroom that genuinely feels like a retreat. They want a designer who listens, who brings real expertise, and who stays engaged from the first sketch to the final inspection.

Adam works personally with every client. His approach is collaborative and unhurried — he takes time to understand how you live before he puts pen to paper. The result, consistently, is a home that surprises even clients who arrived with a strong vision of what they wanted.

Our work has been recognised with multiple HIA and BDAA design awards and featured in House & Garden, Home Beautiful and Inside-Out magazines. But the measure we trust most is simpler: our clients love where they live.

If you'd like to discuss a project, we'd be glad to hear from you.

At Adam Hobill Design, we specialise in the creation of creative and thoughtful residential designs to compliment your family and your lifestyle.  We ensure that our designs are responsive to the specific needs of each client through our collaborative approach to design.

We have been designing award-winning homes for Canberra and southern NSW families for over 25 years and have been featured in House & Garden, Home Beautiful and Inside-Out magazines.  We work with people who are interested in high quality design and who will typically have a budget of $500,000 plus for extension and renovation projects and $900,000 plus for new homes.

In our experience most people aren’t familiar with the process of having a home designed, getting approval for it to be built and then engaging a builder.  Undertaking a building project is a significant investment and it is important to get it right.  Selecting the right designer is the critical first step on the pathway to your new home.

The range of services and insight we offer, including design, presentation of concepts, high quality documentation, assistance with quoting and finding builders ensures that you have the best possible chance of completing your project without the stresses and difficulties that can occur.  We believe our services are the most thorough, professional and cost effective in the market place.

Our ultimate goal is to bring dream homes to reality, and for you to enjoy the process of building.  We are excited by the opportunity to be involved in the enhancement of your lifestyle through the build of your new home.
