Build Theory won HIA Australian Kitchen of the Year for a contemporary kitchen that balances style and functionality. Warm timber tones, natural stone and soft textures create an inviting atmosphere whilst a functional layout maximises the workspace. Judges praised its refined aesthetic and timeless appeal. This category is partnered by Fulgor.
Tanik Design won HIA Australian Bathroom Design for a flawlessly designed bathroom which transforms a compact, unconventional space into a functional masterpiece. Curved fluted mosaic walls and striking stone-clad vanities, framed by arched steel mirrors take centre stage. Combining luxury with functionality, this bathroom is an exceptional example of innovative modern design. This category is partnered by Caroma.
Adelaide Green Homes won HIA-CSR Australian People’s Choice Home for a sanctuary that emphasises sustainable living. The home is brimming with architectural flair and exquisite details. Striking design elements include a sculptural staircase that curves from the second floor down to a fabulous sunken lounge area.

Queensland’s Sarah Waller Building won the highest residential building award bestowed each year, being named 2025 HIA-CSR Australian Home of the Year. Set across subtle cascading levels on a sprawling acreage, the contemporary pavilion-style home blends bold architectural design and functional living.
Its striking aesthetic is defined by raw off-form concrete and black timber cladding, creating a dramatic yet refined façade. Inside, a sophisticated monochromatic palette enhances the transitions between each distinct zone. Every element has been thoughtfully considered, resulting in a home that is both luxurious and liveable.
HIA Managing Director Jocelyn Martin congratulated the 2025 HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards winners and praised their remarkable achievements.
“Each year thousands of projects are entered into our Awards program. To be shortlisted as an Australian finalist is a huge achievement, but to be one of the 23 winners means you’re at the pinnacle of residential building.
"HIA Awards are our way of recognising the exceptional talent within our membership. We’re talking about members who not only build extraordinary homes, kitchens, and bathrooms but also run incredibly successful businesses. The winning projects redefine what's possible in terms of design and innovation, setting new standards for the industry.
Ms Martin also acknowledged the apprentices who are constantly striving to better themselves in their chosen fields. “The judges always have to make a tough decision from a strong field of finalists, and this year was no exception.
"Congratulations to all the winners for their outstanding contributions to the industry," Ms Martin concluded.
The HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards are the ultimate platform to showcase the talents of the nation’s top builders and designers. Winners are selected from state-based finalists, with awards in 23 separate categories. The Awards are partnered by leading building products company CSR.

Tasmanian builders shouldn't be shut out of housing work over union membership
