For the Ancients, water was not just a crucial part of
everyday living, but also key to their religion and art.
Serrenia draws on that tradition, with architecture that reflects not just the vital role of water, but which takes also for its inspiration, the wind-shaped forms of the surrounding desert.
A series of cascades, lagoons and dynamic canals create a cooling atmosphere of tranquillity, culminating in the opulence of the Spa.
The community nestles into the landscape, and the Foster and Partners design encompasses lush garden oases and shaded courtyards, which adopt the pattern of the crescent-shaped sheltering forms of the desert dunes.
The architecture and its landscaping afford total privacy for all residents, while at the same time allowing Serrenia to blend seamlessly into this ageless environment, in a sustainable, non-intrusive manner.
Serrenia is a place of peace and tranquillity, yet full of life.
