Sky House, Blackburn

Commencing construction.

A contemporary extension that redefines light and connection, Blackburn House brings new life to a classic suburban home. The design centres around capturing northern light, with a striking clerestory roof that frames the sky and draws daylight deep into the heart of the living spaces.

Inside, a calm palette of timber floors, soft white walls and textured stone creates a backdrop for family living and entertaining. The kitchen island, sculpted in natural stone, becomes both a functional centrepiece and a sculptural element within the space. Custom joinery, window seats and carefully placed greenery add moments of softness and character.

The home opens seamlessly to the garden, with full-height glazing framing views of native planting and extending the living areas outdoors. A balance of robust brickwork and lightweight forms ensures the extension feels both contemporary and enduring, while still respecting and integrating with the original home.

Blackburn House is designed for everyday life, a family home that feels generous, light-filled, and timeless.
