How do you combine the splendours of the suburban backyard with the social intensity of urban density?

The Mountain Dwellings consists of 2/3 parking and 1/3 living. Rather than doing two separate buildings next to each other- a parking and a housing block - we decided to merge the two functions into a symbiotic relationship. The parking area needs to be connected to the street and the homes require sunlight, fresh air and a view, thus all apartments have roof gardens facing the sun, amazing views and street parking on the 10th floor. The Mountain Dwellings appear as a suburban neighborhood of garden homes floating over a 10-storey building - suburban living with urban density.
