The Qube is an extraordinary example of modern sustainable architecture located on Prehen Road, one of City's most prestigious addresses. This passive house, designed by Gerard McPeake, stands out with its striking design, combining advanced energy efficiency with luxury living.

Rising from a mature and elevated  site, this magnicent four- bedroom house has superb entertaining areas, private gardens, a stylish carport and attractive patio areas and is found on the Prehen Road.

THE QUBE holds a prime location on Prehen Road, widely regarded as one of County Derry/Londonderry's most distinguished locations. This home also offers an extensive exterior package with a large private garden including mature trees and established hedge rows, an attached carport, and a raised patio area complete with glazed balustrades.

Spanning approximately 2,500 square feet, the three-story residence features four bedrooms, spacious entertaining areas, and private gardens, making it ideal for various lifestyles, from families to Executives. The house's design emphasizes airtightness, with triple-glazing and super-insulation, ensuring minimal heating requirements. Additionally, a mechanical heat-exchange system maintains superior indoor air quality.

Situated on an elevated plot with views of Lough Foyle, The Qube offers both tranquility and convenience, being close to amenities like the Everglades Hotel, City of Derry Golf and Boating Clubs, and excellent schools. The home’s south-facing glazing maximizes solar gain, reducing the need for artificial heating, while natural ventilation prevents overheating during warmer months. This combination of design and efficiency makes The Qube a unique and highly desirable property.

This unrivalled home is built with a high air tightness score and has exceptional insulation fitted without compromising on style or design. The superior HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM provides this house with fresh warm air ensuring a healthy living experience whilst keeping energy costs to a minimum

A modelling exercise on the energy usage of THE QUBE carried out by crest and South West College compared the expected annual heating costs of THE QUBE with the expected annual heating cost of the same house had it been constructed to regular building control standard. The findings are as follows:

THE QUBE (21kWh/m2a – Space heating demand)

4,512.9kWh/a = total space heating demand per year.

4,512.9kWh/a x 0.26 (cost of kWh of electricity in NI)

Total cost for heating = £1,173.35

Building Control Standards (90kWh/m2a – Space heating demand)

19,341kWh/a – total space heating demand per year.

19,341kWh/a x 0.26 (cost of kWh of electricity in NI)

Total cost for heating = £5,028.66
