| Description |
The
Danish Architecture Centre website describes
this residential building as, " ... a
modern ten-storey ‘housing mountain’ with
eighty apartments and personal roof gardens
that sprawl down the 'mountain side'."
(see below)
Below the living units there is a car park that
accommodates 650 cars.
The architectural practice
of BIG say that, " ... All apartments
have sunny roof gardens, fantastic views
and parking facilities immediately outside
the front door. The Mountain is like a
suburban residential area flowing down a
ten-storey building. The Mountain pops out
of the ground like a suburb full of
courtyard gardens spreading across the
tall building: suburbanity and urbanity
melting into one."
