There’s something about November in the Adelaide Hills. The air is (usually) warmer, the days stretch a little longer, and the calendar starts filling with a certain buzz that only comes when the year is winding down. For us, November marks both celebration and reflection — a moment to pause, look back, and soak in the milestones before rolling into the festive rush.

This year, that reflection comes with another round of incredible news:
Another HIA win under the belt for 2025. Actually—two wins.

But before the award announcements came through, we put the fun question to our team: HIA Awards Night or Handpicked Festival?
The vote was unanimous enough… and so, instead of dressing up and heading into the city, the SpaceCraft crew found themselves right in their own backyard—at Langhorne Creek for one of South Australia’s most loved events: Handpicked Festival. With Meg Mac, Xavier Rudd, The Rubens, Hilltop Hoods and Hot Dub Time Machine taking the stage— safe to say spirits and vibes were high!

Meanwhile, someone else was stepping up for us in the best possible way…A massive thank you to Shane Maxwell of Maxwell Built. A past Strath local, Shane graciously hit the stage on our behalf—collecting not only our awards, but his own. We couldn’t have asked for a better representative. Congrats, Shane!

Our 2025 HIA SA Award Wins:
Bronte – Blythe & Adam’s Minimal MCM Black Kitchen
Winner: 2025 HIA SA Kitchen of the Year – Renovated $65K–$85K
A masterclass in moody elegance and mid-century restraint.

Jessie – Fiona & Lucy’s Modern Art Deco Kitchen
Winner: 2025 HIA SA Kitchen of the Year – Renovated up to $45K
Small in stature, massive in impact — Jessie’s signature attention to detail shines through every curve and contour.

Two wins, two brilliant designers, and two very proud moments for our entire team!

A moment of Gratitude
As we edge closer to year’s end—between festivals, the workshop humming, installs being wrapped up, and our install board filling for 2026—we want to take a quiet moment here to say something simple but meaningful: Thank you.

Thank you to every client who entrusts us with their home, their ideas, and their “what about this?” Thank you for welcoming us into your spaces and giving us the opportunity to craft something that feels truly one-of-a-kind.

Your trust allows us to do what we love most: create thoughtful, beautiful joinery that stands the test of time.

Here’s to November.
Here’s to the wins—on and off the stage.
And here’s to closing out another year with full hearts!
