About Serpentine House Residenza
Il gesto architettonico di una lunga forma fluida a L lungo i due margini principali del sito cerca di creare una soglia tra il paesaggio circostante e il risultante negativo, un cortile di scala simile all'impronta dell'edificio. Questa forma fluida si restringe e si allarga per creare tensione con il cortile racchiuso ma è rigida lungo il perimetro del sito, formando un margine ben definito. La forma dell'edificio si estende attraverso una serie di grandi pergolati per coprire parti del cortile e creare una sequenza piuttosto scenografica di spazi chiusi, aperti e semi-aperti.

- Dimensions & Packaging
- Large openings that punch the fluid form, reframe and narrate the act of inhabiting highlighting the buildings connection with nature all flood with natural light.

- Production Technology
- The building form streches through a series of large canopies to cover parts of the courtyard and to create a rather staged sequence of closed, open and semi open spaces, where at the same time seekind different levels of transparency and opacity with large openings towards the garden.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge was the positioning and articulation of the building, as well as the interaction of the flows in the various spaces. Strategically placed at the centre of the articulated building form and intended to act as a meeting point is the kitchen, where one can oversee the formal and informal activities as part of everyday life.
- Research
- The architectural gesture of a long L shaped flowing form along the two main edges of the site seeks to create a threshold between the surrounding scenery and the resulting negative, a courtyard of similar scale to the building footprint. This fluid form narrows and widens to create tension with the enclosed courtyard but is rigid along the perimeter of the site, forming a well-defined edge.
- Inspiration
- The form of the house narrows and widens to create tension with the enclosed courtyard but is rigid along the perimeter of the site, forming a well defined edge, opposing the absence of any relationship with the context. The curved edges of the building soften the rigid appearance towards the surroundings while the courtyard and the external scenery are connected in a balanced synergy.
- Project Duration
- LOCATION: Hellinikon, Athens Greece
DESIGN: 2022 - Operation Flow
- The building programme is spread over two floors with the main living areas in the ground floor and the sleeping areas on the upper floor, along with the family room, to keep the noise levels in control, with the exception of the master bedroom which is located in an a private corner of the ground floor plan, taking advantage of the orientation, and with direct access to a secluded area of the garden and the swimming pool, for those warm summer nights.
