By default, there's an output_files directory in your project directory. You can change this in Assignments -> Settings -> Compilation Process Settings.

If you're talking about files generated by Platform Designer, in Standard/Lite, you can select the directory when you generate, but it defaults a directory with the same name as the .qsys file where the .qsys file is located. In Pro, it's always in the project directory with the same name as the system.
