We're thrilled to announce that we've added to our award-winning track record, claiming the 2026 Australian Project Home of the Year at this year’s @hia_au Housing Awards.

This is the fourth-consecutive year this national award has been bestowed to The Rural Building Co. and our affiliated brand, WA Country Builders.

The home, built in the picturesque suburb of Oldbury in Western Australia’s Peel region, is a beautifully crafted residence offering a private sanctuary that reflects a considered balance of comfort, functionality and timeless Australian style.

We're so proud of this home.

Life near Emu Point has its own rhythm.

Open water, wide skies and a shoreline that’s always changing with the light and tide - it's easy to see why so many people choose to call this stretch of coast home.

Designed for comfort and connection to its surroundings, this living space features all of our favourite things. A fireplace anchors the room, while raking ceilings create volume and light.

Framed views extend to the trees beyond, grounding the interior in its landscape and providing a calm, natural outlook from every angle.

Natural light was a key focus in this custom home in Willyung.

The high raked ceiling and full-height glazing draw the outdoors in, filling the living space with light throughout the day and framing the surrounding landscape.
