The approach of the design is to follow the original foot print of the house. A large room is created within the new structure to act as a guest house with a courtyard with kitchen and toilet. The butterfly roof form is added to express the light weightness of the overall look of the guest house.

The original design of the “Butterfly House” built on the existing site of the house. The idea is to preserve the site as the actual site of the house. The original 100 years old staircase is maintain and the original kitchen building is retain but to reconfigure also be a dining area and a kitchen area modern day toilet also built.
