- Klein Bottle House by Mcbride Charles RyanThe Klein Bottle House is a gorgeous structure that has been recognized for its funky origami twist and modern aesthetic. In response to an awkward site astride Rye Beach's dramatic landscape in Australia, <a href="http://www.mcbridecharlesryan.com.au/#/projects/klein-bottle-house/">McBride Charles Ryan</a> gave the house the shape of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_bottle">"Klein Bottle"</a> - a mathematical non-orientable surface that has no boundary and does not distinguish between left and right. If that's a little hard to wrap your head around, know that despite its complex geometric design, this home is actually very livable. More cool photos and details after the jump.1
