Apartment Life in the Mountain Dwellings of Copenhagen Dwell

We've been enjoying the new September issue of Dwell - it's our favorite in awhile, which is not a surprise - its focus is on apartments. The most wonderful by far is the peek inside one family's home in the amazing, multi-level "Mountain Dwellings"...

...complex - we are seriously jealous. Each of the 80 units is situated in such a way that they all include a nearly 1000 square foot outdoor space to enjoy, clearly visible and accessible through their floor to ceiling, southern exposure windows. Heaven!

Take a longer look at the complex in the 20 photo expanded online slideshow and read all about it at Dwell - or pick up the new issue - this one is going into our "keeper" file.

Wow, I want to live there! The complex looks a bit like Habitat in Montreal.

It's certainly lovely for the folks who live there...
...but too bad for the folks on the other side of the Metro tracks who have their southern sun blocked by the mountain of housing.

So cool! The U.S. is sooo far behind in design. When will we start seeing vision like this?

good design isn't valued here...when people demand better design, that's when it'll come. and architects should be paid more! :)
why do realtors make so much anyways? i guess the second part would follow naturally after the first though. when architects and good design are in demand, then maybe we'll make more? right now it's about quick sales, quick construction and bigger, not better- and developers and realtors are the facilitators in the mass consumption of crap...

anways, i'll look forward to my dwell mag, although their content has been steadily shrinking...what are they like 15 pages now when you take out the ads?
