Your text caption goes hereBIG is a group of architects, designers and thinkers operating within the fields of
architecture, urbanism, research and development with offices in Copenhagen and
New York City. BIG has created a reputation for completing buildings that are
as programmatically and technically innovative as they are cost and resource
conscious. In our architectural production we demonstrate a high sensitivity to the
particular demands of site context and program.
BIG’s recently completed projects include the 8 House (2010), the Danish Pavilion
at the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai (2010), The Mountain (2008), Art Museum in
Park City, Utah, The Helsingør Psychiatric Hospital (2006), the VM Houses (2005),
The Maritime Youth House (2004), and Copenhagen’s Harbor Bath (2003), an urban
space that transformed the area of Islands Brygge from a run down harborfront to
the recreational and social center of the city. Current projects include: West 57th,
a 600-unit residential building in Manhattan; the Danish Maritime Museum in
Helsingør; a new Educational Center on the Faroe Islands; a new National Gallery
in Greenland; the Shenzhen Energy Mansion in China; and a waste-to-energy plant
in Copenhagen that will double as a ski slope.
BIG has two offices: the headquarters in Copenhagen and an office in New York
City. We employ 100 architects, designers, and design assistants, with 75 in the
Copenhagen office and 25 in New York City.
The Grove at Grand Bay enjoys a site unique to Miami. Where the dense canopy of
Coconut Grove meets the open water, the views from the site are spectacular. The
boats of the marina sway calmly the foreground, as the blue water stretches to the
horizon uninterrupted. In the distance up the coastline, the silhouette of downtown
Miami lights up the skyline.
The two towers of the Grove oscillate to take in the full breadth of these views. The
towers take off from the ground with direct views to the marina, and as the buildings
rise, they turn to a broader panorama that captures both the downtown skyline
and the sailboat marina. This twisting motion creates a new landmark in the heart
