The 2024 HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards were announced on 18 May in front of an audience of industry leaders and home-building consumers.
Victoria’s BCM Homes won the highest residential building award bestowed each year, winning the 2024 HIA-CSR Australian Home of the Year. Designed and built with an overarching philosophy of balancing aesthetic and environmental response, this home is suspended on the water's edge of an unbelievably steep slope, moulded to the landscape. The low-maintenance clad exterior is ideal to withstand the coastal setting. Inside, burnished concrete floors, solid timber, and high-end finishes complete this sophisticated build.
Judges were impressed with the meticulous detail and execution. With care, attention and uncompromising quality evident at every turn, the home perfectly combines luxury living with a laid back coastal lifestyle. The category is partnered by CSR.
HIA Managing Director Jocelyn Martin highlighted that the HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards celebrate the remarkable achievements of HIA members who are excelling in Australia’s residential building industry.
