Fold House is a guest and pool house in Hamilton, Canada, topped with a curving roof of compression-bent oak designed by architecture studio Partisans.
The Toronto-based practice designed the new building to replace the old guesthouse in Southern Ontario, which burned down.
Fold House encompasses a pool and guest house
Fold House is so named because its roof is designed to fold into the existing topography of the site.
A sweeping timber and steel roof covers the swimming pool pavilion, which dips down to accommodate steps up to the roof before curving back up to meet a two-storey guest house.
