The result was announced in front of an audience of South Australia’s leading residential builders, designers and manufacturers at the Adelaide Convention Centre.
HIA South Australia Executive Director Stephen Knight said, “projects like this truly capture what South Australian design and construction are all about. It’s a perfect example of how contemporary design can be seamlessly integrated with heritage character — delivered with exceptional craftsmanship, creativity and attention to detail.”
The winning homes showcases exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful design, delivering a luxurious yet rugged ambiance through features such as a sunken lounge, burnished flooring and a spa–sauna retreat that connects seamlessly to the outdoors.
Judges were particularly impressed by the impeccable detailing — from the secret powder room door and steel-framed openings to the precise tiling and clever use of materials — describing the transformation as sophisticated, innovative and beautifully executed.
2025 HIA South Australia Home of the Year is partnered by DW Fox Tucker Lawyers.
