A holiday home, shaped like an origami Klein Bottle, has won the World’s Best Home award at the prestigious World Architecture Festival Awards (WAF Awards) 2009.

Klein Bottle House, designed by McBride Charles Ryan, Australia celebrates the country’s traditional beach houses whilst remaining a practical and useful 21st century home. This holiday home is situated in heavily treed sand dunes directly behind 16th beach at Rye on the Mornington Peninsula, only two hours from Melbourne. There was in this home to be the sense of arriving at a natural and built environment which was unique and in complete contrast to the owner’s city home.

Klein bottle House 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.
