"Origami" House

I found this house called the "Klein Bottle House" based off the Klein Bottle mathematical principle that deals with "a continuous volume with no inside and outside" and " a surface with an indefinable left, right, top or bottom". The house has "origami-like facets and folds" and reminded me of the paper structures we made showing open/closed. I also thought this related to what we are talking about in class in the sense that it is supposed to have no true inside and outside with questions it's containment. It clearly has some inside volume, but the many fold does make you question the inside/outside Klein Bottle principle that it addresses. Both these articles talk about the house: here and here.
