Serpentine House, Modern apartment complex in Käpylä, Finland.
The Serpentine House consists of two four-story buildings with 189 rental apartments and features curved formations along Mäkelänkatu street in Helsinki.
Architect Yrjö Lindegren completed this residential project in 1951 as part of Finland's post-war initiative to address housing shortages through state-supported construction.
The National Board of Antiquities includes this building in its register of nationally significant built environments, representing mid-20th century Finnish architectural innovation.
The complex contains a service building with a daycare center, swimming hall, and communal facilities, serving the residential needs of the Käpylä district.
The structure's winding design creates varied outdoor spaces while maintaining rectangular living areas, with only staircases and auxiliary zones following irregular shapes.
