The klein bottle house, Mornington Peninsula,Australia


The essence of the design of the Klein Bottle is originated by mathematical concept of the mobius strip. The uniqueness of this structure is that despite the fact that it appears so unevenly, the klein bottle topologically remain the same. This idea is similar to the concept of twisting a donut, but it still remaining topologically the same. I was being introduced to this magnificent and intriguing edifice, last week in my design studio by my tutor. It is just breathtaking just by looking at the sight of it. This, indeed, has to be one of the the most avant-garde homes design ive ever come across!

Located at just an hour and a half drive from Melbourne- Morning Peninsula, this beach house is situated within the tee-tree on the sand dunes and a short distance from the wild 16 beach. This particular holiday house is interesting as it does not just look like any other sophisticated, traditional houses you can find, effortlessly, by just googling it. It also appears to others, as an construction of a life size origami design. On the other hand, my tutor commented that some of her colleagues mentioned that it looks a bit like " sketch-up gone wrong!". What fascinate me even more, is the fact that the interior design is also shaped with the same concept. The endless layering and folding causes the house to have no definite side to label as the external surface or the intramural part.  

"Its endless, curling shell-like quality particularly in the tee tree brings about a comforting togetherness."- Archdaily. 

One of the reasons that im aspired to be an architect is that architecture is a form of art to express the designer's creativity, experiences and their own individual distinctiveness. But last but not least, to improve the living of the people. Its like fashion, but displayed in a different form- building! 

If any of you, readers, have any other similar innovative architectural designs, do share it with me! I would love to be more exposed to more of such designs!
