The result was announced at the 2025 HIA Riverina Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards in front of an audience of Riverina’s leading residential builders, designers and manufacturers at The Wild Vine winery in Oura.
HIA ACT & Southern NSW Executive Director Geordan Murray said, "What a way to close the evening—with Nero taking out one of the night’s top honours. This home is bold, refined, and truly unforgettable. Built into a steep hillside, it’s a masterclass in architectural innovation, blending raw concrete and charred timber with elegance and purpose. Our judges were blown away by its seamless open-plan living, energy-efficient design, and the way it balances drama with liveability. It’s a standout example of how great design can rise to meet even the toughest challenges."
The 2025 HIA Riverina Home of the Year is partnered by the Wagga Wagga City Council.
“This is a great example of the remarkable quality and workmanship available in the Riverina region and is a true credit to Lancaster Homes,” said Mr Murray.
HIA recognised further outstanding projects and businesses on the night:
- Higginson Homes and Constructions claimed the 2025 HIA Riverina Country Home of the Year title for their project – Valencia. With its crisp white façade, classic fretwork, and warm, character-filled interiors, Valencia beautifully captures the essence of Hamptons style while embracing the relaxed charm of country living. This award category is proudly partnered by James Hardie, whose products helped bring the timeless elegance of Valencia to life.
- Duncan Construct took out the 2025 HIA Riverina Renovation/Addition Project of the Year for an outstanding transformation. Seamlessly blending old and new, the renovation overcame steep terrain and site constraints to deliver a sophisticated Hamptons-style home featuring open-plan living, luxurious amenities, and enduring design details. This award category is proudly partnered by Estella Rise.
“We’re extremely proud of the work being produced by HIA members and congratulate all the winners and finalists,” concluded Geordan Murray.
