"When we design project, we ask ourselves why you would ever want to move there," Ingels said before we parted ways. "Maybe we could provide something that wasn’t available anywhere else. With the VM Houses, it’s that the flats are all duplexes or three-plexes and you can get a three-dimensional apartment that would be impossible to find in Copenhagen. With the Mountain, it’s that each unit is a penthouse with a private garden. With the Eight House, it’s the idea of having the Potato Rows in an urban block."
