The structure's most distinguishing feature is a wide promenade that weaves through the entire building from the bottom to the top, affording views of all the units.
At 476 units, 8 Tallet is Denmark’s largest housing complex. The structure’s most distinguishing feature is a wide promenade that weaves through the entire building from the bottom to the top, affording views of all the units. The path also creates a channel for inhabitants to easily communicate and establish a sense of unity with each another.
The building offers a range of services for residents in a free-flowing program that encourages community. The multi-level, east-west design maximizes daylight throughout the units and the courtyard. The building is without question colossal, but the careful management of space makes for a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

It looks like a great design for college housing. The moat could reduce the number of entrances to the closed community. Courtyard view provides ‘social moderation’. The interior park/pool could double as a swimming pool and heat sink.
To me, nothing about this building is inviting or feels “green.” The view from the subway makes it look like a burned-out abandoned factory. It’s hideous!
How much did it cost in American dollars.
love the building and BIG always executes their concepts spot on… I am however, as a landscape architect, appalled by the lack of attention given to such a potentially awesome interior courtyard… I mean it’s a joke of a design
Hello, the idea is great but the design extremely deceiving, uncreative. It certainly didn’t give me the desire to live there and I’m not sure the designers who conceived the place would!
That’s our favorite project in years. BIG up!
