Modern Environmental Home Architecture, The Klein Bottle House
Located directly behind 16th beach at Rye on the Mornington Peninsula, two hours from Melbourne (Australia), this modern holiday home is situated in heavily treed sand dunes with unique natural and evironmental architecture sense.
Designed Mc Bride Charles Ryan, the modern home architecture is an intriguing interpretation of an advanced topological mathematical formula – a Klein Bottle. It also follows in a long line of houses that previously established the Mornington Peninsula as an important site of architectural experimentation, while also tipping its hat towards Australian vernacular ‘fibroshed’ beach houses.
Although the building design began from a theoretical premise and required extensive use of 3d architecture software for both its development and eventual execution, the house itself is not at all forced but stands entirely on its own merits, its complex geometries self-built by the owner-engineer and local craftsmen. A crystalline clam shell, spiralling joyfully and optimistically to a living room perched above a canopy of tea trees, it evokes on every day of the year the enriching playfulness of being on holiday.
The Klein Bottle House is the House Winner of World Architecture Festival 2009.
