Serpentine Summer Houses include looping wooden pavilion and inverted replica building

The Serpentine Gallery has unveiled the designs for four Summer Houses that will accompany this year's Bjarke Ingels-designed Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in London's Kensington Gardens, The four structures form part of the gallery's newly expanded annual architecture programme.

Nigerian architect Kunlé Adeyemi , Berlin studio Barkow Leibinger , Paris-based architect Yona Friedman and British architect Asif Khan will each create an architectural folly to accompany the main pavilion, now in its 15th year.
The structures are intended to reference the 18th-century Neoclassical summerhouse – named Queen Caroline's Temple – that is also located in Kensington Gardens.

Adeyemi of NLÉ has created an inverse replica of the folly, which will be constructed from prefabricated building blocks assembled from sandstone. The architect intends the Temple to fulfil the primary purpose of a summerhouse as a space for shelter and relaxation.
