International House is a multi-family luxury apartment complex on a 2.75-hectare site at the outskirts of a mountainous European capital. Eight nine-story blocks totaling 74,000 m2 are situated around the site’s sloping contours forming a lush private courtyard. Each highly articulated block contains thirty spacious apartments and each apartment has both a terrace and a private balcony. Apartments are laid out such that each unit has at least two exposures and distant views to the mountains beyond. The complex is eco-friendly, utilizing both active and passive solar energy as well as a rainwater collection system.
