Custom Built Home $750,000 to $1 million

HIA ACT/Southern NSW Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards

Winner: Reardon Building Group

This family-focused home combines bold engineering with refined interior detailing. A classic gable façade of FC weatherboard, render and handcrafted oak doors conceals a striking interior. Upon entering, the eye is immediately drawn upward to the 5-metre peak ceiling, with pitched ceilings throughout the living, dining, and kitchen areas featuring multiple angles. This complex roof structure required a combination of steel columns, cranked beams, ridge and valley beams, and stub columns to execute, a significant engineering and construction challenge. Mediterranean-inspired finishes are layered with soft timber textures to create warmth and calm, while a central rammed earth chimney forms a dramatic focal point in the open-plan living area. Herringbone oak flooring, wool carpet and underfloor hydronic heating enhance comfort throughout. A glazed six-metre breezeway links the wings of the home, framing the alfresco courtyard. Finishes of micro-cement, Venetian plaster and feature lighting add depth, texture and character throughout.
