Klein Bottle House Wins Architecture Award
For a residential project in Rye, Australia, architect Rob McBride found inspiration in a Klein bottle, a 19th century innovation with no distinguishable inside or outside. “In principal, it’s like a donut. You can twist and distort it but it will only change topographically if it’s cut. In a sense, there’s no beginning or end,” McBride told the Sydney Morning Herald last December.
The Klein Bottle House, which won Australian Institute of Architects’ prestigious Harold Desbrowe-Annear Award last Friday, is a multitude of shifting planes and sharp angles. The structure is made mostly of compressed concrete sheets, a material that echoes the neighboring beach houses. Its black metal roof folds downwards to become an exterior wall.
