An unusual house-installation inspired by the art of origami was built in Torun. Investors fascinated by fashion, design and Japanese culture turned to the medusa group, and the result was an object referring to spatial forms made of paper.
The seemingly simple building's geometric form creates an intricate arrangement of steel structure, covered with graphite polyurethane coating. This made it possible to achieve the effect of a visually lightweight paper form taken from the Japanese art of origami. The curved planes, both outside and inside, are a screen for natural light.
The form of the building resembles a sculpture

Inside, a relaxation space has been created, as well as a guest room if needed, and a place for momentary retreat and reflection. The calming effect is given by finishing with whitewashed plywood, a material associated with fusuma's wood-paper wall architecture. The building is also a sculpture in the space of the home garden.
