Butterfly plan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A butterfly plan is a nineteenth century plan where two or four wings of a house are constructed at an angle to the core, usually at approximately 45 degrees to the wall of the core building.[1] Used primarily during late Victorian or early Arts and Crafts movements. It is also known as a 'double suntrap'.[2] Norfolk has several houses of this type.
Notable examples:
- Papillon Hall (demolished) by Edwin Lutyens.
- Happisburgh Manor by Detmar Blow.
- Kelling Hall by Edward Maufe.
- Yaffle Hill by Edward Maufe.
