The result was announced in front of an audience of NSW leading residential builders, designers and manufacturers at the International Convention Centre, Sydney.
The coveted 2025 HIA NSW Home of the Year, partnered by Next Level Elevators, went to Futureflip for their build, The Solstice, which judges described as a striking blend of luxury, innovation and liveability.
Set high above Seven Mile Beach and Berry’s Bay on the South Coast, this luxurious forever home was designed for a family seeking uncompromised coastal living. Blending refined elegance with functional comfort, The Solstice offers a sanctuary for everyday family life and sophisticated entertaining. Its design captures panoramic ocean views while addressing environmental responsiveness and cutting-edge innovation, earning high praise from the judges.
HIA NSW Executive Director Brad Armitage said, “This is a remarkable example of the exceptional quality and workmanship available in NSW and is a great testament to Futureflip.”
HIA NSW Kitchen of the Year was awarded to HELICONIA & Stratti Building Group for an architecturally designed kitchen in Sydney’s Northern Beaches that captures contemporary coastal living. The space features an eight-metre-high wave-inspired ceiling and a warm timber island bench topped with Quartzite stone, showcasing minimalist design and exceptional craftsmanship.
Drawing inspiration from high-end hotel living, HIA NSW Bathroom of the Year was awarded to Bentino for a project that seamlessly blends luxury and comfort. From the striking bevelled skylight to the refined finishes throughout, every detail reflects sophistication and considered design.
The 2025 HIA NSW Roger Pysden Apprentice of the Year award went to Sarah Starbuck, from Wright Building & Carpentry. "Sarah is recognised as one of the most professional and motivated apprentices. Her positive, can-do approach to every challenge is truly inspirational. With experience across all aspects of carpentry, Sarah is quickly establishing herself as one of the industry’s standout leaders,” said Mr Armitage.

Light-filled spaces, a cosy fireplace, a sparkling pool, and eco-friendly features combine to create a serene, sophisticated retreat.
“We’re extremely proud of the work being produced by HIA members and congratulate all the winners and finalists. We are also grateful to the partners who support this vitally important industry,” concluded Mr Armitage.
