Koutalaki Ski Village- BIG Architects

BIG recently won an invited competition for a ski resort in Finland. They always have one really cool element in each one of their designs, and in this one it is the four mini ski hills at the top of each building. I question if people really going to use them if they have to ski all the way up, or is there an elevator of lift somewhere that helps with that? Still love it though, especially since it once again shows how architecture can play multiple functions as both a building and as a playground.
