Description:

"The distinctive facades to the north and west-bearing a sweeping photorealistic image of snowy Himalayan peaks etched into perforated raw-aluminum plates-conceal a parking garage for 480 vehicles. Topped with 80 blocky apartments that diagonally descend 11 stories to ground level, the artificial summit, which was completed last summer, is a brilliant response to two completely different directives. After the success of the adjacent VM Houses (one of Ingels's early projects, done in 2005 in collaboration with his former partner, Julien de Smedt, now of JDS Architects), the developer, Per Høpfner, wanted to construct another apartment building. When he discovered that a parking company was planning a garage on the lot he had in mind, Høpfner arranged to be the contractor for both projects. He turned to Bjarke Ingels Group, or BIG, to merge the two programs on the 86,000-square-foot site. Stacked on an angle, the upper third is now devoted to housing, and the lower two-thirds are parking for both Mountain and VM residents. 'It is a symbiotic relationship rather than an unfriendly neighborship,' says the 34-year-old architect, whose Copenhagen-based firm, established three years ago, employs 60 people."
