The modern Mediterranean beach style home delivers impeccably on the brief of a warm, comfortable, functional private oasis. A stunning showcase of individuality, liveability and outstanding contemporary craftsmanship has created an inviting and timeless residence, underpinned by a dedication to maintaining the integrity of its bespoke design. Beyond a deliberately unassuming entry with a small frontage that affords absolute privacy, the highly considered floorplan of the house wraps around a pool to create the ambience and aesthetics of a private resort. The attention to detail and workmanship of this home is a real credit to Liam, Hyaesil and their team.
Liam Gilligan Builders set the pace for the evening with an impressive five award wins, including Home of the Year, Custom Built Home of the Year, Custom Built Home Over $900,000, Outdoor Project, Residential Interior Design and a joint entry award win with Lazarus Custom Cabinetry for New Bathroom.
Innisfail’s Micale Cabinets took home Kitchen of the Year Award, Renovated Kitchen Over $35,000 and Interior Cabinetry for their Maalan View, Millaa Millaa project.
The sensational Kitchen of the Year boasted elegance, luxury and class, a sense of warmth created by the Black and Tassie Oak grain cabinetry, paired with Domoos bench tops and natural Titanium Granite. A waterfall illusion is carried down from the ceiling by the illuminated granite splashback to the island bench that flows over the ends to the timber flooring. Features throughout including a Butler’s pantry, integrated appliances including double ovens and warmer drawers, LED lighting and Terra Black drawers with Blum soft close hardware.
HIA Branch Manager Shane Moon said, “This year saw the highest number of entries from across the region. The entries were truly amazing, displaying the high level of quality workmanship and design that is a real testament to the hard-working men and women of our industry”. “The coveted HIA Awards have a national judging criteria recognising building and design excellence, showcasing innovation, technology and modern trends in new homes, kitchens and bathrooms,” said Shane.

Tasmanian builders shouldn't be shut out of housing work over union membership
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) has today written to the Tasmanian Government calling for a commitment that state-funded and state-partnered housing work will continue to be awarded on merit, not industrial arrangements, warning new federal procurement rules could shrink the pool of builders able to deliver the homes Tasmania needs.
Rushing Working from Home laws will only lead to more bungling
