Clubhouse Apartments is one of the earliest examples of a project on which Quad acted as both architect and developer.

A white rendered, highly articulated block of 7 apartments in the heart of Strawberry Hill, the building displays clear links to modernism, particularly in the use of a Corbusian stair tower. The full height concave windows that provide three of the apartments with panoramic views over the golf course opposite were carefully planned around the large Cedar of Lebanon fronting the site. The dramatic impact of the building’s white sculptural form, set against a backdrop of mature evergreen trees that included a Giant Sequoia as well as more Cedars, was a significant driving force behind the development of the design.

Clubhouse Apartments was initially met with a degree of resistance from both the planning committee and some neighbours, but soon after completion attitudes shifted firmly in favour of the building and now, after many years, it is seen as a much loved local landmark.
