Adelaide Green Homes wins HIA-CSR South Australian Home of the Year

Media release
Adelaide Green Homes has won the 2024 HIA-CSR South Australian Home of the Year for an awe-inspiring residence that brings bold, visionary design to life. The remarkable home embodies elegance and sophistication, setting a new standard for quality and innovation in residential construction.

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.

2024 HIA South Australian Kitchen of the Year

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.

2024 HIA South Australian Bathroom of the Year

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:

  • HIA Professional Small Builder/Renovator: The Building Company SA (Partnered by HIA Insurance Services)
  • HIA Professional Medium Builder/Renovator: Country Living Homes (Partnered by Lysaght)
  • HIA Professional Major Builder: Weeks Homes (Partnered by Big River Trade Centre)

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.”
