In St. Ives we situated a home for a family who place enormous value on time together. The architecture is open and embracing to the rear where the site extends towards the natural landscape of the national park. To the street the building is a composition of cues from a more civic architecture. The project assembles the ideas and references of two directors educated in the UK, Europe and the USA and deploys them to address a quintessentially Australian design question of the private residence in a beautiful Sydney suburb.

We express our gratitude to their Elders and Knowledge Holders whose wisdom, actions and knowledge have kept culture alive.
We recognise First Nations peoples as the first architects and builders. We appreciate their continuing work on Country from pre-invasion times to contemporary First Nations architects, and respect their rights to continue to care for Country.
