Taking top honours as the HIA-CSR Queensland Home of the Year is Sarah Waller Building’s “Blackwood.” The pavilion-style masterpiece reimagines family living with separate zones for socialising, rest, and work, as well as a self-contained studio for multi-generational needs.
With indoor-outdoor spaces designed for gatherings, a sunken firepit for intimate evenings, and a striking 21-metre freshwater pool reflecting the architectural lines, Blackwood epitomises luxurious yet functional design. Its contemporary aesthetic—characterised by off-form concrete, black timber cladding, and a minimalist monochromatic palette—creates a serene atmosphere that complements the surrounding landscape and adjacent golf course.
Taking out the title of 2024 HIA Queensland Apprentice of the Year is Sam Spencer from Mamet Homes, whose commitment to learning, technical skill, and passion for the trade has set him apart as a standout in his field. Sam’s dedication to excellence and eagerness to embrace new challenges reflect the high standards and future leadership that the Queensland housing industry is fostering in its emerging talent.

According to HIA Queensland Executive Director Mike Roberts, “the HIA-CSR Queensland Housing Awards were a reminder that despite the significant challenges of the last few years the home building industry in Queensland continues to do great things”.
“The innovative design and high-quality workmanship on show at these awards is a testament to the high level of skill that sits within the home building industry in Queensland.”
“The HIA-CSR Queensland Housing Awards are more than just a celebration; they represent the industry's commitment to pushing boundaries and enhancing standards across construction and design. These awards play a critical role in setting benchmarks, and inspiring builders and developers to innovate in response to evolving lifestyle needs and sustainability demands. Each winning project embodies the spirit of craftsmanship and forward-thinking that is driving Queensland’s housing market into the future,” concluded Mr Roberts.
These awards are made possible thanks to the support of industry partners who play a vital role in promoting excellence and innovation across the Queensland housing sector.
