At this prime location, with its spectacular view across the bay, the seemingly simple task was to maximize views and sunlight for every apartment. Instead of following the master plan made up of primarily closed blocks, Isbjerget is laid out as four L-shaped wings in which the street spaces between the parallel wings open towards the water. To expose the view to as many apartments as possible, a jagged roof profile has been introduced. The L-shapes are arranged like carefully organized mountain peaks and valleys allowing even apartments in the back row to enjoy fantastic views of the rising peaks and the water. The simple algorithm used in the design has resulted in a stunning iceberg structure. The architecture offices CEBRA, JDS architects, Louis Paillard, seARCH worked together in close collaboration on this project.
