A Day in the Life at Shore 3: Serene Bayside Living at MOA Complex

4 min. read

The day starts early at Shore 3 Residences, an exclusive development under SMDC’s Bayside Living portfolio. The sun rises over Manila Bay, filtering through glass windows, casting long shadows on the wood-paneled floors. A fresh brew sits on the granite kitchen counter, steam curling into the morning air. Outside, the city hums to life, but inside, there’s quiet—the kind of quiet you don’t expect in a place this close to the MOA Complex.

6:00 AM – Movement and Mornings

The first step out the door is onto landscaped pathways, where the air is crisp, and the salt from the bay lingers. Some residents take an easy jog through open-air walkways, while others head straight to the Outdoor Gym Circuit, breaking a sweat before the day picks up speed.

For families, mornings mean preparing for school. Parents walk their children through the serene pathways, backpacks bouncing as they head toward the car, ready for the short drive to nearby international and private schools. Younger children giggle as they chase each other through the gardens.

For those who prefer a slower start, the Beach-Entry Pool offers a different kind of wake-up call. The gradual slope mimics a shoreline, making it easy to step in and wade through the cool water before settling into one of the sunken lounges, shaded by modern trellises.

 

9:00 AM – Home Office or City Commute

Back inside, the living spaces are designed for both comfort and efficiency. Light floods in through expansive glass panels, illuminating neutral-toned interiors. Some residents settle into their home offices, where high-speed connectivity makes remote work effortless. Others step out, heading to business hubs just minutes away via major access roads.

 

12:30 PM – Midday Reset at S Maison

Lunch is always an experience. A five-minute drive leads to S Maison, an upscale lifestyle mall that offers a curated selection of retail, dining, and leisure options. Its elegant interiors and premium brands provide a refined midday escape before returning to work, errands, or home.

 

3:00 PM – Inside the Shore 3 Enclave

Afternoons are best spent within the property. The Grand Lobby, designed with nautical-inspired elements, is a meeting point for residents heading to the co-working lounges. Those looking for a change of pace find their way to the game room, where billiards and quiet corners make for an easy break.

Children return from school and run toward the open play areas, where they spend hours climbing, sliding, and exploring while parents relax in shaded seating areas, watching them from a distance. The paved garden walkways weave through the property, leading to pockets of greenery. The design is intentional—creating a flow between spaces so nothing feels isolated, everything connected. For those who seek inspiration, a visit to a gallery at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) or an evening performance at the nearby Arena provides a cultural retreat just minutes away.

 

5:30 PM – Sundown by the Water

The View Deck is the go-to for golden hour. From here, the entire bayfront skyline unfolds—glass buildings reflecting the last light of the day, the water stretching into the distance. Some bring a book, others just sit, drink in hand, watching the city wind down.

 

7:30 PM – Dinner and the City

For a night in, the private dining spaces within Shore 3 provide an intimate setting for gatherings. Families come together for home-cooked meals, laughter filling the air as children recount their day. For a night out, the options are endless, and nearby cultural and entertainment venues are set for a sophisticated night out.

 

10:00 PM – Always Quiet, Always Home

Back home, the city fades into a low murmur. The interiors of Shore 3 Residences are built for this—designed to soften sound, to bring the calm in. The balcony doors open, the sea breeze moves through, and the day slows to a stop.

Shore 3 Residences is the embodiment of SMDC’s Bayside Living philosophy, where urban sophistication meets the ease of a waterfront retreat.
