3 Ayres Road, St Ives, Nsw, 2075

Set​ ​high​ ​on​ ​a​ ​quiet​ ​St​ ​Ives​ ​street,​ ​this​ ​double​ ​brick​ ​residence​ ​makes​ ​the​ ​most​ ​of​ ​a​ ​sought-after​ ​north-to-rear​ ​orientation,​ ​drawing​ ​sunlight​ ​deep​ ​into​ ​every​ ​principal​ ​space​ ​from​ ​dawn​ ​to​ ​dusk.​ ​The​ ​elevated​ ​position​ ​captures​ ​relaxing​ ​district​ ​views,​ ​while​ ​design​ ​by​ ​Moya​ ​&​ ​Co​ ​bring​ ​a​ ​restrained,​ ​tactile​ ​elegance​ ​to​ ​a​ ​home​ ​built​ ​for​ ​family​ ​life​ ​at​ ​its​ ​most​ ​comfortable.

Light​ ​is​ ​the​ ​defining​ ​element.​ ​Northern​ ​glazing​ ​spills​ ​across​ ​the​ ​living​ ​and​ ​dining​ ​zones,​ ​tracking​ ​the​ ​sun​ ​through​ ​the​ ​day​ ​and​ ​framing​ ​the​ ​treed​ ​outlook​ ​beyond.​ ​The​ ​connection​ ​to​ ​the​ ​rear​ ​entertaining​ ​terrace​ ​feels​ ​effortless,​ ​indoors​ ​and​ ​out​ ​reading​ ​as​ ​a​ ​single,​ ​generous​ ​whole.

A​ ​double-height​ ​atrium​ ​sits​ ​at​ ​the​ ​centre​ ​of​ ​the​ ​home,​ ​anchored​ ​by​ ​a​ ​90-year-old​ ​olive​ ​tree.​ ​It's​ ​the​ ​first​ ​thing​ ​you​ ​see​ ​at​ ​the​ ​front​ ​entrance.​ ​A​ ​living​ ​presence​ ​that​ ​softens​ ​the​ ​home's​ ​solid​ ​architectural​ ​lines​ ​and​ ​draws​ ​light​ ​and​ ​greenery​ ​into​ ​its​ ​very​ ​core.​ ​Rooms​ ​open​ ​onto​ ​it​ ​and​ ​borrow​ ​from​ ​it,​ ​so​ ​even​ ​the​ ​most​ ​internal​ ​spaces​ ​feel​ ​connected​ ​to​ ​the​ ​sky​ ​and​ ​nature.

The​ ​result​ ​is​ ​a​ ​home​ ​of​ ​quiet​ ​confidence:​ ​elevated,​ ​north-oriented,​ ​filled​ ​with​ ​natural​ ​light,​ ​and​ ​finished​ ​with​ ​a​ ​designer's​ ​discipline.
