Origami House is located in a small beach town on the Atlantic coast of Argentina. The design was inspired by origami: the art of transforming paper into a finished sculpture without the use of cuts or markings on the paper. The complex structure was extended from ceiling to floors to create triangular shaped walls and roofs that resemble as being perfectly “folded”. These walls act as a bioclimatic skin, working as solar shields for the hot sun during summer and strong storms during winter. Each opening in the concrete was meticulously studied to offer dramatic views of the forest.
