Bruce Langford-Jones OAM was recognised for more than 35 years exceptional service to the industry in the bestowing of the HIA Sir Phillip Lynch Award of Excellence. The award recognised Bruce for his contribution to the development of the housing industry which went beyond his normal working life.

JW Constructions (Qld) won the highest award at the 2022 HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards being named the HIA-CSR Australian Home of the Year for a skillfully designed home with an understated street frontage which reveals open-plan living at its best.

Each room in the winning home flows effortlessly, intuitively connecting the indoors and out. The combination of board-formed concrete paired with warm wood-grained accents creates an inviting interior. Outside, natural greenery drapes elegantly from the expansive upper-level gardens, a verdant and tranquil contrast to the angular lines of the home.

At the heart of the home is the central courtyard and north-facing swimming pool. Submerged views can be enjoyed from the lower level rumpus area and the temperature-controlled wine cellar.

The main bedroom has a lush private garden and privacy screens cantilevered over the courtyard. The joinery throughout the home has been crafted so expertly, it’s seamless. The residence is fitted with the latest technology and automation system and a self-sustained battery generator.

The judges were unanimous that the attention to detail in this home is outstanding. They commented that the quality of finishes, building construction and workmanship is flawless.

The home also won HIA Australian Custom Built Home, partnered by Beacon Lighting.
