About this fold
A pitched roof with a real opening door: make two finite Kirigami slits, fold the new flap, then shape the house. The moves are short and forgiving, so it is a good place to begin. There is no timer and no score — the estimate is only there so you know roughly what you are choosing.
Design note: A QuietFold Kirigami guide compiled from the same cut-and-fold operations used in Free Fold.
What you’ll make
A folded house in whichever paper you choose, kept in your Quiet Garden if you want it. Home is partly a place and partly a way of sitting down.
