HIA Regional Director Greg Weller congratulated all the winners and said that there will be some very competitive homes, when winners progress through to the ACT and Southern NSW Housing Awards in November, to be held at the National Arboretum in Canberra.
“Once again, the Riverina has shown the quality of builders, designers and trades in the region, with some really outstanding finalists and winners,” said Mr Weller.
“The HIA housing awards is a time to recognise excellence by all involved in residential building.
“This year’s event was additionally important, as it represented 20 years since the formation of the HIA Wagga Branch."
Description of the Riverina Home of the Year winner by Lancaster Homes:
A home that is a remarkable departure from the typical suburban house. Bespoke internal features enhance this four-bedroom, two-bathroom home's aesthetic and functional appeal. These include timber-lined ceilings and feature walls in the living space, custom joinery with stone benchtops throughout, and concrete bath and basins. The exterior materials are echoed inside, with sections of exterior brick transitioning inside creating internal feature walls.
Achieving a 7.1-star energy rating, this all-electric home is oriented east to west and features seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces along the northerly aspect. This design allows winter sun to heat the concrete floors and complemented by strategic placement of windows optimising passive temperature control, contributes to its impressive energy efficiency.
