Basalt Constructions wins prestigious President’s Award for ‘Nojoor’

Basalt Constructions is a family-owned building firm founded by brothers Tim and Nick Viner.

Our work is reflective of the ethos behind the Basalt brand, creating spaces that draw on inspiration from the coastal and country landscapes.

We hold a high emphasis on premium quality design and craftsmanship, and this was recently acknowledged by Master Builders when Basalt was awarded the President’s Award at the 2025 Master Builders Awards.

This award praised to the seamless finishes and craftsmanship in our project ‘Nojoor’.

Set within the coastal bushland of the Sunshine Coast, ‘Nojoor’ is a multi-generational retreat inspired by its natural surrounds.

Every space is considered, with the architecture eliminating internal corridors in favour of rooms that connect directly to the central courtyard, optimising natural light and a sense of openness. This home contains over 720 cubic meters of concrete, most of which is exposed.

Internally, the material palette is warm and retrained: exposed concrete walls and ceilings, timber flooring and rich tonal contrasts in cabinetry and tilework provided a grounding backdrop while subtle touches of white quartzite stone add refinement throughout the home.

Basalt were also awarded Best Residential Bathroom Award for ‘Nojoor’ and Best Rural/ Remote Home for our Eerwah Vale project.
