The Klein bottle is a descriptive model of a surface developed by topological mathematicians. Klein bottle, mobius strips, boy surfaces, unique surfaces that while they may be distorted remain topologically the same. I.e. a donut will remain topologically a donut if you twist and distort it, it will only change topologically if it is cut.
This holiday house is situated on the Mornington Peninsula 1.5 hrs drive from Melbourne. From theoutset MCR wanted a building that nestled within the tree line. What began as a spiral or shell like building developed into a more complex spiral, the Klein bottle. (The resulting FC version also has a comforting relationship to the tradition of the Aussie cement sheet beach house).
