Sunland – Q1 and Circle on Cavill

The Projects: The Sunland Group’s award winning residential developments Q1 and Circle on Cavill represent architectural innovation at its finest. The iconic Q1 is the world’s tallest residential tower, with 80 levels of apartment accommodation with unparalleled resort facilities in a central Surfers Paradise beachside location. Circle on Cavill comprises two stunning residential towers, integrated with a vibrant retail precinct in the heart of Surfers Paradise. Both developments have been recognised for excellence in innovation, with Circle on Cavill taking out the UDIA (Qld) Award for Urban Renewal in 2007 and the Q1 Spa included in Condé Nast Traveler’s Top 10 Best Spas in the Australasian South Pacific Region in 2007. Integral to the design of both Q1 and Circle on Cavill is the provision of centralised natural gas for cooking and water heating.

The Client Brief: Sunland’s Q1 and Circle on Cavill apartments are distinguished by their innovative design and focus on luxury and have been designed to simplify and enhance the lives of the people living in them. Both developments represent luxury apartment living with the very best in location, features and appliances. Creating environmentally sound and energy efficient apartments was crucial to Sunland’s architects. With this in mind, Sunland commissioned APA Group to supply natural gas to the developments for cooking and water heating.

The APA Group Solution: The APA Group installed a gas network to provide gas to cook-tops in the Q1 and Circle on Cavill apartments. They also installed centralised equipment known as Serviced Hot Water Systems, to provide a continuous central hot water supply to the apartments. Natural gas used in cooking and water heating applications is highly efficient, reliable and delivers the best possible energy rating – saving the environment and the household budget. Residents have commented on the effectiveness of the gas cook-tops while the energy efficiency and saving benefits are highly attractive to buyers.
