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.”
Without a doubt, this is a remarkable example of the exceptional quality and innovation available in South Australia and a testament to Adelaide Green Homes’ commitment to excellence.
The 2024 HIA South Australian Kitchen of the Year went to Build Theory, partnered by Caesarstone. The winning kitchen exudes warmth and comfort, expertly combining natural materials to create a space that feels both welcoming and sophisticated.
Featuring a contemporary yet timeless design, the kitchen boasts an integrated sink, innovative lighting, and an island that serves as the heart of the space. With a functional back bench leading to a hidden butler's pantry behind a sliding stainless steel screen, this kitchen sets a new standard in design and functionality.
Unique Space took home the 2024 HIA South Australian Bathroom of the Year, partnered by Routleys Bathroom Kitchen Laundry. Inspired by Japanese aesthetics, the bathroom is a masterclass in tranquillity and elegance, blending earthy tones with a furniture-inspired vanity and soft curves. Brick and tile elements add depth and texture, resulting in a space that is as inviting as it is visually stunning. The bathroom demonstrates the beauty of simplicity, setting a new benchmark for bathrooms in South Australia.
Several individual and business winners were also recognised on the night.
Samuel Carslake was awarded the 2024 HIA South Australian Apprentice of the Year, partnered by Stratco, while Aileen Shannon of Anangu Building Services was named the 2024 HIA South Australian Building Woman of the Year, partnered by Cosentino. Aileen stood out with her passion for creating culturally appropriate housing, developing training opportunities, and supporting community initiatives. Her dedication to both her business and the communities she serves has made her a natural leader and role model in the industry.
The 2024 HIA Professional Builder awards also recognised outstanding achievements amongst South Australian builders:
Stephen Knight further commented, “We’re extremely proud of the work being produced by HIA members across South Australia and congratulate all winners and finalists. We’re also grateful to our partners who play an essential role in supporting this vital industry.”
“Australia’s population reached 27.4 million by the end of 2024, up by 445,900 people, or 1.7 per cent for the year,” stated HIA Senior Economist, Tom Devitt.
The Tasmanian election that no-one wanted to have is in full swing, and while the limited campaign period is unlikely to provide the usual platform to promote key policies and reforms, HIA is calling on both major parties to prioritise housing policies given the significant challenges across the state.
“Our dated and complex planning system is littered with speed bumps that could easily be removed”, said Brad Armitage, HIA NSW Executive Director.
“The Victorian government’s proposal to update home building contract laws to make them fit for use in the 21st century is welcomed by HIA,” stated HIA Executive Director, Keith Ryan.
