The shared passion of sister cities.
There’s a synergy in the decision to replicate Q1 in the Gold Coast’s sister city of Dubai. Both share a reputation as a tourism and lifestyle destination, although each has a very distinctive outlook and origin. The Gold Coast lifestyle embraces a relaxed sun and surf culture, while Dubai is a forward-looking capital imbued with Arabic traditions.
As young cities, Dubai and Gold Coast are both seeking to expand their economic base - through tourism, and recognition as a preferred location to live and work.
Q1 an elegant statement on the Gold Coast Skyline.
The singular architectural conception of Q1 has its genesis as a sinuous, elegant, almost feminine form – as if the building were the idealisation of a woman gazing over the Surfers Paradise shoreline, with the ribbon canopy at its base seeming to signify a skirt gently blown by a breeze. Mirroring the eternal motion of the waves, central to the beach culture of the city
