Beautiful homes with more to love


Beautifully designed homes with so much more for you to
love
You don’t get to be the state’s No.1 Home Builder with over 70 years of experience housing South Australians without a commitment to continually improve.
Which is why we invited internationally recognised and award-winning Adelaide architect Max Pritchard to collaborate with us and suggest new design features and refinements to our already best-selling homes.
The result is designer living minus the premium price tag, where inclusions others consider extras are standard for all.
With an unrivalled legacy of constructing 50,000 homes over seven decades, we believe we’ve perfected the delicate balance between affordability, design excellence, spaciousness, and meticulous craftsmanship.
At Hickinbotham we want to do more than build you an exceptional home, we want to create a home designed for lasting happiness and comfort, a place where your best memories are made, a place for you to love life.

MICHAEL HICKINBOTHAM
It’s a privilege to build your home and it’s a role we don’t take lightly.
We’ve listened to and learned from our clients over the past 70 years and the continual improvements we’ve made to the way we design and build has reflected these learnings. Now, as we celebrate our 70th anniversary, we wanted to go above and beyond what other builders offer.
You know when you walk into a home and everything feels just right? It’s visually pleasing, physically and emotionally satisfying.
Our homes are designed to bring you and your family joy - homes flooded with natural light, spaces designed to bring people together for family time and entertaining, as well as room for when you need some quiet time. Every home is thoughtfully designed with the way you live in mind.
Our commitment to improving lives through considered design has seen us collaborate with award-winning architect Max Pritchard to ensure our designs will enhance your life. At Hickinbotham, it’s in our DNA.

EVEN IN THE EARLIEST DAYS, OUR FOUNDER, ALAN HICKINBOTHAM (CENTRE), KNEW THAT TO BUILD THE BEST HOMES YOU HAD TO WORK WITH THE BEST PEOPLE

Architect of the 5th Greatest Luxury Hotel on Earth
MAX PRITCHARD

Hickinbotham and acclaimed architect Max Pritchard share the view that our home designs should push the heights of liveability and functionality as well as being stylish to live in.

Max Pritchard
Max is the renowned architect behind the celebrated Great Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island ranked 5th in the “50 Greatest Luxury Hotels on Earth.” Max has significantly influenced our approach to our home designs. He has received more than 40 Awards and Commendations from the Australian Institute of Architects for his architectural work, starting with an award for his very first house in 1986.
We first collaborated with Max in 2007 to pioneer Australia’s inaugural collection of sustainable and affordable home designs for the mass market, known as the Affordable Architect Series. Later came his four-bedroom Preston Alfresco, one of our top-selling designs which has since been improved to become the Arte.
This time our dedication to ensuring our designs remain the best they can saw us invite Max to review our best-sellers. He has meticulously evaluated the designs, toured our display homes, engaged with our customers and exchanged insights with our sales team to fully appreciate what has been effective and what could be improved.
The outcome is a carefully planned range of homes that blend the principles of comfortable living and exceptional design. These homes are generously infused with space and natural light, have thoughtful open-plan living areas - right down to window placement and furniture layout - that truly reflect how families naturally move within and live in our homes, creating spaces that will bring joy to everyday living.
All our homes incorporate design principles that we’ve perfected at Hickinbotham through 70 years of industry experience, it’s what we call ‘considered design’. Through thoughtful decision making and careful consideration, we prioritise and optimise every aspect of a home, from its functionality and liveability to its style and perceived value. This ensures that we deliver exceptional results that exceed our clients’ expectations, every time.

Natural Light
ALL OUR DESIGNS ARE CENTRED AROUND NATURAL LIGHT WITH WELL-PLACED WINDOWS ALLOWING EVERY INCH OF OUR LIVING SPACES TO FEEL BRIGHT AND INVITING
Love Life with Hickinbotham
Great Planning
Our designs are planned with good movement or flow in mind. We’ve collaborated with SA’s best architects, including Max Pritchard to ensure we get it right. Efficient movement, good functionality, comfort of space, logical room placement, proper circulation, flexibility of rooms and access to outdoor living. Plus to make it easy, we have developed two versions of each design to suit blocks with a 3.5m or a 5m front setback, so you don’t need to change anything.
Natural Light
Our designs position the largest windows in rooms you’ll use during the day, such as the kitchen, and plan spaces for furniture to benefit from the available light, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. They incorporate proper ventilation ensuring fresh air circulation, maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.
High Ceilings
Have you ever walked into a home and thought ‘wow’? Chances are it’s because of its high ceilings and it can be one of the most important design elements in your new home. All our homes include 2700mm high ceilings, along with increased door heights that instantly make your home feel more spacious and luxurious, filling the spaces with lots of light, giving an open and grander look and feel.
Entertainer-Style Kitchens
All our home designs include impressive kitchens that combine functionality and aesthetics making them perfect for entertaining. Stacked full of great features such as thoughtfully positioned work zones, 900mm ovens and cooktops, feature splashback tiles, Zenith stone benchtops and ample storage. Or for that extra wow, choose our Aspire level specification which includes 20mm slab ends to island benchtop and French door refrigerator.
Functionality and Comfort
All our designs consider the needs and lifestyle of its occupants. They offer efficient floorplans with ample storage space for unsurpassed levels of convenience and comfort. The laundries, butler’s pantries, store rooms and mud rooms already have joinery included. Plus full-height tiling to bathrooms and ensuites including modern tiled ledges to showers and double wall cavity sliders are thoughtfully placed to create space. Furniture placement has been considered, and timber studwork behind television placements have been reinforced. Everything has been considered. Our thoughtful designs allow you the ability to live comfortably through any stage in life.

Our homes often consider outdoor spaces as an extension of the living area. The addition of alfrescos enhances the overall experience and provide opportunities for relaxation, entertainment, and connection with nature.

You can choose from architecturally designed elevations in different styles from traditional, classic, or contemporary, that all include statement windows, auto remote controlled panel-lift garage doors and other designer features.

They also help keep your home at the ideal temperature, reduce noise, and provide excellent fire resistance. All in all, it’s a smart, sustainable choice for any home!
