The Housing Industry Association (HIA) NSW celebrated the state's finest homes, kitchens and bathrooms on Saturday, 7 November 2026, at the International Convention Centre, recognising outstanding achievement in residential building, design and craftsmanship.
Hammercorp claimed the industry's most prestigious honour, being named the 2026 HIA NSW Home of the Year, partnered by Next Level Elevators, for an extraordinary residence that showcases exceptional craftsmanship, innovative design and unwavering attention to detail.
The Home of the Year honour recognises the very best residential project from among the evening's category winners and stands as a testament to Hammercorp's commitment to delivering homes of exceptional quality and distinction.
"Congratulations to Hammercorp for taking out the prestigious 2026 HIA NSW Home of the Year. Our judges were blown away by the exceptional attention to detail and quality of construction" said HIA NSW Executive Director, Brad Armitage.
Standout features included the striking spiral concrete staircase, sophisticated bathroom finishes and innovative skylight design, all contributing to a refined and cohesive architectural statement.
The home's thoughtful planning and seamless flow were also highly praised, with every space carefully considered to suit its purpose while enhancing the overall living experience.
The project represents an outstanding fusion of architectural ambition, technical excellence and superior workmanship.
"The last 12 months have been challenging for people in the housing industry. It was heartening to see so many come together to celebrate the teams that face those challenges head on and deliver award winning work. It is a real testament to the resilience of our industry" continued Mr Armitage.
"Congratulations to all of our winners and finalists for the 2026 awards program, you have made our industry proud", concluded Mr Armitage.
