Brisbane’s Darren James Interiors won HIA Australian Kitchen Design for a welcoming galley-style kitchen designed to perfectly endure and enhance family life.
With lightly hued timber joinery and white integrated appliances, the elegant kitchen offers a nuanced combination of materials, fittings and fixtures throughout. Australian Kitchen Design is partnered by Robam Kitchen Appliances.
Alroe Constructions won HIA Australian Specialised Housing, partnered by Merlin Garage Door Openers, for a development which showcases true excellence in design and construction to improve the liveability of the occupants.
Purpose-built for high physical support tenants, the project combines great street appeal with the full range of accessibility solutions. The dwelling includes ten National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) units, a carer’s unit, multipurpose consultation rooms, massage and therapy rooms as well as multiple recreational spaces to encourage socialisation, including a rooftop terrace.
Gold Coast-based Mactech Constructions won HIA Australian Townhouse / Villa of the Year for a stunning duplex development that presents as a single home – an architectural gem that evokes the classic Queenslander style. Including four bedrooms and a four-car basement garage, gym, cellar and cinema on a tight site is a testament to the skill of the builder. Guests are also treated to a glimpse of a glass pool overhead upon entry. The category is partnered by NatHERS.
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.
