BCM Homes won the highest award at the 2024 HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards being named the HIA–CSR Australian Home of the Year for a home suspended on the water's edge with breathtaking views.

The home won an additional two awards on the night; also named the HIA-CSR Australian People’s Choice Home of the Year – as selected by Australian consumers – and HIA Australian Custom Built Home, partnered by ActronAir.

Designed and built with an overarching philosophy of balancing aesthetic and environmental response, the 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 the 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.
