Some of his works
The mountain: housing
complex in Copenhagen
Two young Danish architectural studios
have come up with a bold plan for an
intensive residential development just
outside Copenhagen. On the basis of the
formal model of the mountain, which gives
the complex its name, they take advantage
of its natural peculiarities to create an
appropriate microclimate for the residential
complex on the slope and the parking lots
and service areas that form its base.
