Completion Date

Built on a vacant block, this new home capitalises on an unconventionally shaped block. We were able to design a home that was long, and in many parts, just a single room and a corridor wide.

This allows almost every room in the house to have direct access to the northern light.

It features large outdoor areas for entertaining and the kids to play, ample areas to park your cars, and a safe, secluded spot in a cul-de-sac in St Ives.

Designed for family living, This home features a generous master suite bedroom, with a walk-in robe, and an ensuite with a full size bath, and double shower heads.

The kitchen, meals and family rooms feature open plan living areas with ample amounts of natural light, with easy access to the pool, covered alfresco, and butlers pantry.
