There is no doubting why the 'Wave in Vejle' won a 2010 Leaf award for residential building of the year -- it's absolutely gorgeous. Aptly named, I wouldn't be surprised to find surfers appraising its properties.
Designed by Henning Larson Architects, the 'Wave in Vejle' building was inspired by its Denmark surroundings. By complementing the area, it has become a staple landmark in the community already. Enjoy the images in the gallery above, perhaps they'll inspire you to visit Vejle.
