Blackhut is a building design studio in North East Victoria, creating spaces that foster connection.
Elegant, practical, environmentally-conscious design that reflects who you are, how you live, and what you value most.
We bring people together through responsible, respectful, resourceful design.
We believe in homes that nurture connections between people and place. An effortless sense of belonging where everything feels just right. From joyful milestones celebrated around the dinner table, to quiet moments on the deck soaking up the warmth of the winter sun, our designs deepen your connection to the people you love and the spaces you share.
Create: New home design that honours the way you want to live.
Adapt: Considered renovations that reimagine what’s possible in your existing space.
Evolve: Thoughtful extensions for a home that grows with you.
Responsive
Architectural Design
We believe a well-designed home should evolve alongside the people who live in it. Responsive architectural design allows us to create or reimagine spaces that adapt to your life today and grow with you into the future.
It means your home is designed to always serve your needs: optimising energy use, enhancing comfort, and gently making your day-to-day life easier and more enjoyable.
Our design ethos:
Led by Lisa De Fazio, Blackhut’s work is driven by three principles:
Responsible
We guide you through the design process with clarity and care. We take the time to understand the implications of what we design together and the outcomes we’re all striving for. We carefully consider the impact of our choices across every element of your design.
Respectful
We approach our work with a deep respect for people and planet. When you work with us your ideas, needs and priorities will be listened to and understood. We’ll bring them to life in considered designs that honour your vision, and respect the world around us.
Resourceful
Beautiful design doesn’t have to break the budget! By using creative solutions and choosing affordable and sustainable materials, we can help you realise your dreams in a way that feels both inspiring and achievable.

New Homes
Create a new home to love
There’s something incredibly exciting about embarking on a new home design. It’s an opportunity to create a space where your lifestyle and values are reflected in every detail.
Renovations
Adapt your existing space
One thing’s certain in life - it’s full of changes - and your home needs to keep up! Whether it’s adjusting for a growing family, solving those frustrating bathroom bottlenecks, or simply making better use of your space.
Extensions
Evolve your home to serve your growing needs
Sometimes the home you love just needs room to grow. Adding extra bedrooms, creating more living space, or extending into the outdoors for effortless entertaining - whatever your vision, we'll make sure it's seamless, intentional, and true to your home’s character.
