Bjarke Ingels’s Hobbit-Esque Hill House Lists for $715K
With offices on both sides of the Atlantic, the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) has made waves in recent years with their solution for year-round skiing atop a Danish power plant, and more recently, their designs for Richard Branson's Virgin Hyperloop and the new Two World Trade Center building in New York City. One of the firm's earlier projects—a comparably modest but equally memorable single-family residence—just hit the market in Glamsbjerg, Denmark, about two-and-a-half hours west of Copenhagen.
The home, which BIG completed in 2008, just two years after principal Bjarke Ingels officially founded the firm, features a distinctive green roof that arcs over the entire structure. Wanting it to appear like a hill rising from the ground, the firm also added grass atop the roof that seamlessly connects with the surrounding lawn at each end.
Offering nearly 1,800 square feet of interior space, the home is fresh from a 2019 renovation that resulted in new finishes inside and out. Two bedrooms sit on each side of the living area, while handy storage areas are tucked into the sloping ends of the structure. The .32-acre lot also features a green-roofed carport. Keep scrolling to see more of the property, currently listed for 4,500,000 Danish kroner (approximately $715,000).
Rosenparken 12 in Glamsbjerg, Denmark, is currently listed for kr. 4,500,000 (approximately $715,000) by Lilienhoff.
