The coveted 2025 HIA Structerre Western Australian Home of the Year was awarded to Giorgi for an extraordinary residence in Peppermint Grove. Drawing inspiration from Tuscan architecture and reinterpreting it through a contemporary design lens, the home impressed the judges with its sophisticated detailing, functionality and strong connection to its site. A grand entry colonnade creates a sense of arrival, opening into expansive living spaces that capture views over Freshwater Bay. A central courtyard and terraced pool reinforce seamless indoor–outdoor flow, while high ceilings, travertine, reclaimed timber and finely detailed cabinetry introduce warmth and timeless character. The project also received HIA WA Custom Built Home of the Year, highlighting its exceptional execution and livability.
2025 HIA WA Kitchen of the Year was awarded to Western Cabinets for their North Beach project. Defined by refined detailing and exceptional craftsmanship, the kitchen combines rich walnut cabinetry with chalky grey surfaces and matte black accents. A concealed sliding door leads to a fully equipped scullery, maintaining a streamlined aesthetic, while a concrete island designed for both entertaining and everyday living anchors the space. It was also awarded HIA WA New Kitchen of the Year.
Weststyle received 2025 HIA WA Bathroom of the Year for a master suite in Coolbinia designed as a calming sanctuary. The space flows from walk-in robe to ensuite to a secluded bathing court, offering privacy and a sensory experience shaped by light, texture and proportion. Consistency of materials and subtle spatial transitions ensure harmony and elegance throughout.
Display homes play a key role in the new home market and Averna Homes was awarded the prestigious Golden Key Award for Western Australian Display Home of the Year for their ‘Villa Scala’ home in South Perth. Judges praised the thoughtful indoor–outdoor connections and the home’s sophisticated, versatile design. Averna Homes was also awarded HIA WA Spec Home of the Year for a refined family sanctuary in Applecross.
Other major categories were strongly contested. The Rural Building Company’s project in Oldbury was named HIA WA Project Home of the Year, offering a peaceful retreat with soaring vaulted ceilings and gabled windows that flood the living areas with natural light. Humphrey Homes balanced original character with contemporary sophistication to win HIA WA Renovation / Addition Project of the Year for the transformation of a heritage-listed 1915 bungalow in Peppermint Grove. VM Building secured both HIA WA Townhouse of the Year and HIA WA Townhouse Development of the Year for projects in Yokine and Mount Pleasant, while Adrian Zorzi received both HIA WA Apartment of the Year and HIA WA Apartment Complex of the Year for an impressive development in Cottesloe.
Velocity Building and Sana Living were awarded HIA WA Specialised Housing of the Year for a Floreat home that demonstrates how NDIS-compliant design can deliver dignity, comfort and architectural quality. Patton Building won HIA WA Outdoor Project of the Year for a Peppermint Grove outdoor environment designed to enhance living from sunrise to sunset.
Kitchen and bathroom design excellence was further recognised with Weststyle receiving HIA WA Kitchen Design of the Year and Urbane Projects awarded HIA WA Bathroom Design of the Year.
HIA WA Executive Director Michael McGowan said the quality and diversity of this year’s entrants demonstrate the outstanding commitment to quality, innovation and service in WA.
“These winners have showcased their ability to deliver exceptional outcomes for their clients and will now progress to proudly represent Western Australia at the 2026 HIA Australian Housing Awards.”
In other categories, Residential Attitudes won HIA WA Bathroom in a Display Home of the Year for their Mindarie residence, while Plunkett Homes received HIA WA Kitchen in a Display Home of the Year for their project in Eglinton. Salt Residential received both HIA WA Renovated Kitchen of the Year (Mount Lawley) and HIA WA Renovated Bathroom of the Year (Salter Point).
“The HIA Awards also recognise the importance of quality business processes, management practices, and the delivery of the highest standards of professionalism and customer service,” said Mr McGowan.
“We are pleased to recognise Amerex Renovations as the HIA Professional Small Builder / Renovator, PIQUE as HIA Professional Medium Builder / Renovator, and Summit Homes Group receiving the HIA Professional Major Builder award.”
