2023 HIA Australian Display Home

HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards

Winner: South Coast Constructions - The Ashton

South Australia’s South Coast Constructions won the 2023 HIA Australian Display Home for a modern Scandinavian barn style home with stand-out features maximising energy efficiency.

The Ashton display home offers an inspiring interpretation of the Scandinavian barn style, its sheer size and striking exterior making it a memorable addition to the seaside town of Port Elliot in South Australia.

The expansive single-level layout stretches across the landscape, with the bedrooms adorning the wings and the centralised living spaces connected together under soaring, pitched ceilings and highset double-glazed windows.

Beautiful, character-laden features, from the enormous stone walls to the French-laid travertine tiles, contrast with the dramatic kitchen island, charcoal joinery and American oak dining bench. Outside, the builder introduced reclaimed timber from old jetties for the decking in the entertaining area.

Despite the spacious open plan design, areas for quiet reflection can be found in a charming bay window seating nook and an inviting loft platform above the lounge room, which provides sweeping views out to the water and of the surrounding countryside from its high vantage point.

The home was announced the winner during the presentation of the 2023 HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards on 20 May at Hamilton Island.

The HIA Australian Display Home category is partnered by Clipsal by Schneider Electric.

HIA Managing Director Graham Wolfe said the HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards recognise the best in Australia’s residential building industry.

“HIA is committed to recognising the outstanding achievements of our members. The HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards allow us to acknowledge their skill and their commitment to quality in design, material selection and construction. Our Awards’ program brings together members who excel in building exceptional homes, kitchens and bathrooms and run highly successful businesses.
“HIA Award winners build with exceptional workmanship; demonstrated in projects that push the boundaries in design and innovation. It is my absolute pleasure to congratulate each winner for their hard work and commitment to excellence,” Mr Wolfe added.
