The Serpentine Property

The Serpentine is a 2011 residential architecture project designed and envisioned by architectural practice Turner of Surrey Hills. This is a modern, contemporary property that features an elegant and discrete interior design located somewhere in Bilgola, New South Wales – Australia. It kind of reminds me of a venue I used to know and visit, on occasions, when interesting shows or concerts took place.

The Serpentine is located downwards – at the site  -and the architects articulated the building into three elements inspired from a traditional tripartite design of forming a base, middle and top. The ground floor – literally – features recessed openings and seems to anchor the house to the site with external walls flowing outwards, blending into the landscape and creating the sensation this is a natural marvel.
On the inside of the Serpentine, there’s a predominant light- and transparent-oriented design that allows living areas to capture views and sunlight. Moreover, in the need to maximize solar access, the roof over the living room folds up to capture northern sunlight while the summer sun will most efficiently be kept away.
The Serpentine is kind of odd, yet practical and attractive. Kind of, like.. me. So, I’m loving it. I’m curious as to what the cost of owning and enjoying this luxurious property is. Description: The Serpentine property
