A stunning luxury property suspended on the water’s edge has won three prestigious awards. BCM Homes from Victoria has been honored with the Housing Industry Association’s Australian Home of the Year for their exceptional build in Separation Creek along the Great Ocean Road.
In addition to this top accolade, the property also received the Australian People’s Choice Home and the Australian Custom Built Home awards for 2024.
The judges, as stated in a press release by HIA, were “stunned” by the execution of the project.
HIA Managing Director Jocelyn Martin said in a statement that the HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards celebrate the remarkable achievements of HIA members who are excelling in Australia’s residential building industry.
“The craftsmanship displayed by our award winners is simply outstanding. Their projects often redefine what’s possible in terms of design and innovation, setting new standards for the industry. It brings me immense joy to extend my congratulations to each and every winner for their unwavering dedication to excellence,” Martin added.
BCM Homes have been building residential and commercial properties for over 15 years throughout Ballarat and provincial Victoria.
Director of BCM Homes, David Moyle, told Domain: “100 truck loads of cement were poured on a steep and remote site on the Great Ocean Road. We then had difficulty with the structural steel and on-site glazing.”
This two-storey concrete and steel residence with a 600-bottle wine cellar took 18 months to complete. The home seamlessly integrates with the landscape, providing breathtaking ocean views from its main living and entertainment areas.
Separation Creek known for its tranquility and natural beauty, is situated on Victoria’s Great Ocean Road. Due to limited sales in the past year, Domain has not been able to determine a median house price for the area.
The HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards are the ultimate platform to showcase the talents of the nation’s top builders and designers. Winners are selected from state-based finalists, with awards in 22 separate categories. The Awards are partnered by leading building products company CSR.
