Showcasing the talents of the nation's top builders and designers, The HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards are the pinnacle of the housing awards and recognise the best in Australia's residential building industry.
Winners of the 2020 awards have just been announced with BJ Millar Constructions from Queensland winning the coveted HIA-CSR Australian Home of the Year award.
The winning home is a sophisticated nod to brutalist architecture and tropical modernism, masterfully crafted with an extraordinary level of customised detail.
The award winners have surpassed the highest standards in workmanship and pushed the boundaries with design and innovation.
