The layout of the Butterfly house set a new standard for holiday houses in Australia.
A stone plinth holds the main living and private spaces to emphasize the view of the bay.
The Children Bedroom and laundry are located on the ground floor, allowing the main active spaces such as the lounge room to have priority access to the views.
The connection to the exterior was strengthened through the open plan living, removing the strict separation of the traditional dining area, lounge and exterior lounge.
This provides a more relaxed and free flowing movement within the house, complementing the associated lifestyle of beach-side living.
Owing to the increased availability of family cars, a sheltered parking space is included underneath the cantilevered floor resulting in ease of access for residents.
