Mountain Dwellings, BIG with JDS, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2008
“The residents of the 80 apartments will be the first in Orestaden to have the possibility of parking directly outside their homes. The gigantic parking area contains 480 parking spots and a sloping elevator that moves along the mountain’s inner walls. In some places the ceiling height is up to 16 meters which gives the impression of a cathedrallike space.”
“The roof gardens consist of a terrace and a garden with plants changing character according to the changing seasons. The building has a huge watering system which maintains the roof gardens. The only thing that separates the apartment and the garden is a glass façade with sliding doors to provide light and fresh air.” Constructed Area: 356,400 sqft h p://www.archdaily.com/15022/mountain-dwellings-big/

Suntop home, Frank Lloyd Wright, ardmore, pa, 1939
“This series of photos is of one of the homes in the quad know as the Suntop Homes in Ardmore by Frank Lloyd Wright. They were built in 1939. The home photographed in this series is the front right of the quad as you look from the street. Note diagram of the 4 homes. At Suntop, Wright applied principals from his "Broadacre City" plan, a garden-based alternative to suburban and urban expansion, to rethink the notion of group housing. By way of
a pinwheel plan, each of the four units that constitute Suntop, affords the inhabitants with a private garden and sun terrace, with interior living spaces divided into four separate levels. There is an overall horizontality of the forms, including the suppression of the verticality of the stair.” This could be applied to multi-story configurations. http://modernhomesphiladelphia.com/frank-lloyd-wright-c20327.html

“The massing configuration maximizes the area of green roof for the building, generating two large outdoor spaces. Both the 5,000sf building rooftop and a 2,000sf roof-deck on top of one of the existing neighboring buildings will accommodate private and public planted terraces.� - oda
