The Alabama-based firm has designed an 85,000 square meter biomorphicspatial surface for Yerevan, Armenia that connects the adjacent cityand the landscape. This huge man-made hill is draped with in nativeplants irrigated with a recycled gray water system. Dubbed the "LaceHill," the hill that incorporates retail and restaurants on the bottomfloor, office space on the north side, and a hotel and apartments onthe south side has viewing seats for the Yerevan and Mt. Ararat. The large interior voids provide shaded and naturally ventilatedspaces, while geothermal heat pumps along with radiant floorsprovide heating and cooling for the rooms. It incorporates completelyunderground parking. Boasting a "holistic, ultra-green lifestyle,"the Lace Hill is one gigantic man made building that is quite closeto a hill.See more pictures here;http://forrestfulton.com/lace-hill-over-yerevan/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
