The winning home features eight bedrooms, seven bathrooms, multiple living spaces, a wine cellar, bar, pool and outdoor entertaining area, and every space been completed with the same exacting attention to detail by the builder.
Innovative structural solutions were required to achieve the home’s seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Examples of the builder’s technical expertise include the substantial cantilevered section of the upper floor, and a centrepiece curved staircase that was entirely formed on site.
“This is a very impressive home, and HIA congratulates the entire G.E.M Taylor Constructions team on this achievement,” says HIA Victoria Executive Director Keith Ryan. “The judges remarked that the builder has done exceptional work in bringing together this large and complex project.”
Outstanding homes and projects from across Gippsland and the Mornington Peninsula were recognised on the night. Traralgon-based Virtue Homes won four awards in the custom built home, display home and kitchen categories.
SJD Homes won the Display Home of the Year award for the Holland 457 display in Drouin. GJ Gardner Homes Warragul won the Project Home of the Year and Specialised Housing awards, and Latitude 37 won Spec Home of the Year with their entry in Mount Eliza.
Glenco Building Group from the Mornington Peninsula won three awards on the night, including Kitchen of the Year. Bathroom of the Year honours went to Gippsland’s Olsson Building with a spectacular entry in Tynong North.
Other winners on the night included Coastal Builders, Davidson Builders, DB Design, GIA Renovations, Gilpip Homes, Harnest, Roseleigh Homes, Sherridon Homes and Todd Devine Homes.
