Gorgeous Origami-Esque Klein Bottle House Nestles Into Australia’s Landscape

The 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.

The Klein Bottle House was designed to fit into the Australian landscape

It is a beautiful light-filled home with a spiral configuration

Arranged around a central courtyard, the various levels are connected via a stairway

The facade is clad in cement sheeting

The interior is flooded with natural light during the day

The home rests on a traditional timber stud foundation

Although somewhat futuristic, the home is evocative of old-fashioned fibro beach shacks

This weekend home is modestly sized and definitely pays its dues to the amazing topography outside of itself.
