Denmark - Copenhagen - Orestad - The Mountain 02
Completed in 2008, the Mountain by BIG Architects is a unique and clever building in a number of ways, this shot shows the South facing slope with its planted balconies.
From Wikipedia : "The roof gardens are edged by elevated flowerbeds in the shape of planter railings, designed to block the view to neighbouring, lower-level apartments. They are planted according to a coordinated scheme of plants, which will make the colours and the appearance of the mountain slope change according to the changing seasons. The building has an extensive watering system which collects rainwater and use it for automatically watering the roof gardens during dry periods."
