Bjarke Ingels‘ architecture firm BIG, have recently completed ’79&Park’, a residential building in Stockholm, Sweden, that sits on the edge of Gärdet, a national park.
In direct response to its location, the northwest and southeast corners of the complex take the heights of their immediate neighbors; while the northeast corner, farthest from the park and nominally with the worst view, is pulled upwards to give those homes the most spectacular views of the park and port.

The edge of the building closest to the street, has been pushed down, creating a softer and more welcoming edge for those walking past.

Due to the terraced design of the building, the architects created green roofs and patios, that give upper residences a nice natural view that complements the parkland.
