A leading South West homebuilder has celebrated a remarkable triumph at this year's premier industry awards, securing a total of five major honours.
Award-Winning Excellence in the South West
Dunsborough-based Phil Kelleher Homes was the standout performer at both the 2025 HIA South West Housing Awards and the Western Australian Housing Awards. The company's impressive haul included three wins at the HIA South West event for its Lomond project: Custom-Built Home over $1.6 million, Custom-Built Home, and Innovation in Housing.
The accolades continued at the state level, where the same residence was crowned the Regional Home of the Year for 2025. This dual recognition highlights the project's exceptional design and construction quality.
The Lomond: A Home Harmonised with Nature
Perched on Yallingup Ridge, the award-winning Lomond residence was meticulously designed to embrace its spectacular natural surroundings. The architectural vision, led by Naked Architecture, focuses on capturing panoramic views across Geographe Bay.
Key features of the home include:
- A distinctive wave-inspired roof form.
- Extensive use of glazing to flood the interior with natural light.
- A north-facing orientation to enhance passive solar performance.
Phil Kelleher, managing director of the company, stated that the project was about pushing construction boundaries while maintaining a deep connection to the local landscape. He credited the collaborative effort between visionary architecture and precise construction for making the bold concept a reality.
Commitment to Sustainable Building
The builder's commitment to innovation extends into sustainable practices. At the HIA South West Housing Awards, Phil Kelleher Homes also received the Lightweight Housing Award for its off-grid Osmington home near Margaret River.
This property, set on a 48-hectare rural block, was designed for complete self-sufficiency and resilience. It achieved an impressive 7.6-star NatHERS energy rating, demonstrating how high-performance living can be achieved in harmony with the environment.
The series of wins solidifies Phil Kelleher Homes' reputation as a leader in both luxury custom builds and environmentally conscious construction within Western Australia's South West region.
