The Mountain

 

One of my favourite buildings in Ørestaden is this one, the VM Bjerget (Danish for mountain) finished in 2008 by BIG (Bjarke Ingells Group). The building is built like a mountain side with 1/3 of the space given to the apartments and 2/3 to parking space underneath. It won the category of World's Best Residence in 2008 at the World Architecture Fair in Barcelona.

8tallet

 

8tallet, the figure 8 in Danish, is a residence in the area of Ørestaden in Copenhagen. The building by architect BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group) won the award for world's best residence at the World Architecture Festival in Barcelona 2011. With a fantastic view over Amager Fælled combined with really nice architecture I guess this wouldn't be the worst place to live in Copenhagen, if you can afford the price.
