Description

Stretched Mountain is a housing complex with 80 apartments. The building is roughly 2/3 parking and 1/3 living space. The roof gardens are designed to be above the parking lots. The roof garden consists of a terrace and plantings. A glass facade with sliding doors separates the apartment and the terrace. The design allows the residents to park directly outside their homes. The north and the west facades are covered by perforated aluminum plates which allows air and light into the parking area. --See: B.I.G. Bjarke Ingels Group. "Mountain Dwellings [Copenhagen]."
