Delaine Isaac: 8

Based on an architectural space known as the 8 House designed by Bjarke Ingels, 8 is the first episode of architecture entertainment tv series Great Spaces, now on Indiegogo.

Great Spaces is an architecture entertainment tv series that focuses on modern architectural design all over the world.

The team behind the project cover modern libraries, hotels, offices, houses, landmarks, schools, pretty much a majority of public spaces even as much as bridges.

Created by its founder Delaine Isaac, 8 is an episodic film for the first season of Great Spaces. The bowtie-shaped 8 House 61,000 sqm mixed-use building of three different types of residential housing and 10,000 sqm of retail and offices comprises Denmark’s largest private development ever undertaken. The 8 House sits on the outer edge of the city as the southernmost outpost of Orestad. Rather than a traditional block, the 8 House stacks all ingredients of a lively urban neighborhood into horizontal layers of typologies connected by a continuous promenade and cycling path up to the 10th floor creating a three-dimensional urban neighborhood where suburban life merges with the energy of a city, where business and housing co-exist.
