The result was announced in front of an audience of over 1,300 of South Australia’s leading residential builders, designers, and manufacturers at the Adelaide Convention Centre on Saturday, 9 November 2024.
HIA South Australian Executive Director Stephen Knight said, “Adelaide Green Homes has truly raised the bar with this exceptional project. Every element of this home demonstrates outstanding craftsmanship, with a design that seamlessly combines beauty and functionality. This is more than just a residence — it's an iconic achievement in South Australian home building.”
“The attention to detail throughout this home is nothing short of extraordinary, with every finish and feature carefully selected to create a cohesive, luxurious space,” added Knight. “It’s a stunning display of artistry and meticulous workmanship, establishing a new benchmark for excellence in our industry.”

The bathroom demonstrates the beauty of simplicity, setting a new benchmark for bathrooms in South Australia.
