qubec, Newport | nettletontribe

qubec is a cluster of eighteen, three bedroom townhouses, grouped around a landscaped courtyard. Located in the Northern Beaches suburb of Newport, qubec combines urban style with bayside living.

Formerly occupied by six private homes, the 3700m2 site with significant falls in two directions, is also flanked by single residential dwellings set in landscaped gardens to its east, and a small but vibrant neighbourhood corner shops which is anchored by a popular waterfront hotel to its west.

The townhouses, with a bold and distinctive architectural language, form and materiality, are stepped to follow the natural site topography and act as the physical and visual link between the two contextual bookends. The simple forms and bold aesthetic add visual interest to the two street frontages and at the same time remind us of the close proximity to the stunning waters and bays of Pittwater through individual vistas and views from each townhouse.
