The designers took advantage of the site’s steep slope by staggering the twelve green-topped units, which has the additional benefit of ensuring that each home has views of the surrounding valley. And although we’re not in love with so much sameness, at least each of the units has a beautiful green roof and two terraces that reinforce their connection to nature. There’s no risk that these roofs will become as overgrown as these awesome Norwegian homes featured previously.
Giant windows bring in plenty of natural lighting, keeping electricity consumption to a minimum, while generous overhangs keep solar gain at a comfortable level.
