Hunter builder wins two national housing awards

Hunter builder wins two national housing awards

Media release
Hunter’s Greenbuild Constructions won two awards at the 2023 HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards – the HIA Australian Bathroom of the Year and the consumer-voted HIA-CSR Australian People’s Choice Home.

Winners were unveiled before 550 industry leaders at the prestigious residential building industry awards ceremony on Hamilton Island. 

The winning bathroom by Greenbuild Constructions boasts a dramatic greyscale palette and intriguing interplay of texture and sculptural form.

Occupying centre stage is the oversized circular bathtub, perfectly nestled within a curved wall in a truly luxurious setting. Australian Bathroom of the Year is partnered by HIA Business Solutions.

Greenbuild Constructions were also successful in being named the HIA-CSR Australian People’s Choice Home. Selected by an international audience through Houzz Australia, the stunning street frontage of curved masonry and rich timber battens only hints at what the property conceals within.

Full of impeccable and unexpected details, such as peekaboo skylights and a deep central void, the complex build is a testament to the skill, talent and perseverance of the Greenbuild Constructions team.

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.

Tasmania’s Lane Group Construction won the highest residential building award bestowed each year, winning the 2023 HIA-CSR Australian Home of the Year for a spectacular cliff-hugging property anchored to its windswept, bushland location by heavyset stone pavilions and described by HIA judges as ‘a once-in-a-lifetime build for Tasmania’.

An abundance of floor-length glass windows create a serene atmosphere for the owners and their guests to enjoy, connecting them to the magnificent, rugged coastline of the Derwent River from all public and private living areas. 

The layout includes the master suite, four additional bedrooms, billiards room and library – complete with a concealed lift to access the underground wine cellar and tunnel that opens out onto the rocks below.

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

The HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards are the ultimate platform to showcase the talents of the nation’s top builders and designers. Winners are selected from state-based finalists, with awards in 23 separate categories. The Awards are partnered by leading building products company CSR.
