the klein bottle house is located in rye, australia and designed by rob mcbride. the unusual home design
was inspired by its namesake: the klein bottle. this 19th century invention is used to describe a form
which has no distinguishable inside or outside. the architects also wanted to move away from the paradigm
of designing buildings based on orthogonal methods and instead imbrace the complexity inhernt with
computer aided design (cad). while the desigm imbraced mathematics and digital design it also references
the vernacular australian cement sheet beach house. the house recently won the harold desbrowe-annear
award in architecture. it is made from concrete sheets and black metal, which are both folded and twisted
to create the multitude of angles.
