The prestigious 2021 HIA-CSR Victoria Home of the Year award has been won by Belot Property Group for an absolutely outstanding custom built home in Brighton.
The win, along with more than 70 other awards, was announced with an online broadcast on Friday 10 December 2021 hosted by Tim Campbell.
A truly magnificent example of modern architecture, this home showcases near-flawless craftsmanship and unparalleled quality. HIA’s judges noted many aspects, such as the expansive window from the basement bar into the pool, that demonstrate the builder’s outstanding skill. The home features four bedrooms, all with ensuites and rooftop gardens. The ground floor boasts alfresco, living and a high-end kitchen, while the basement level features a custom wet bar and six-car garage with turntable.
“With this project, Belot Property Group has delivered a truly stunning home,” said Fiona Nield, HIA Executive Director, Victoria. “The Belot team has demonstrated exceptional attention to detail and dedication to their craft, and in the process, has proven themselves very deserving winners of the HIA-CSR Victoria Home of the Year award.”

Access to skilled labour a barrier to 1.2 million new homes
“The influx of overseas migrants into Australia in the last couple of years has added significant demand for new homes. Despite this, skilled trades in the residential sector are not recognised on the Australian government’s Skills Priority List,” stated HIA Senior Economist Tom Devitt.
Victoria should not accept mediocre Housing Scorecard result
HIA has released its Housing Scorecard. Once again Victoria is underperforming. With the Victorian State Budget next month there is also a risk that unnecessary tax increases will entrench this poor outcome.
Cuts to taxes on housing will be increasingly necessary to improve housing supply as interest rates remain high
“Today’s CPI figures are likely to see interest rates remain high for longer as inflation becomes increasingly embedded in the economy,” stated HIA’s Chief Economist, Tim Reardon
South Australia tops Housing Scorecard again
“South Australia has once again taken out the top spot in HIA’s Housing Scorecard,” stated Stephen Knight, HIA Executive Director.
