Conceived as a personal video diary, this film takes us into the heart of a contemporary housing development which is considered to be a new model of success. Ila Bêka & Louise Lemoine inhabit the giant “8 House” built by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels in the suburbs of Copenhagen, and they recount their experience of living inside this experimental vertical village, which was selected as 2011’s World Best Residential Building.
