The McCraith House is a modernist house located in Dromana, Victoria, Australia positioned atop a stone walled plinth overlooking Port Phillip Bay. Due to its unique geometric shape, this building is commonly referred to as the Butterfly House or Larrakeyah. In 1954, Gerald and Ellen McCraith commissioned emerging Melbourne-based architect partnership Chancellor and Patrick to design the beachside weekender, which was completed in 1956.[1] Exemplary of structurally inspired modernist architecture in Australia, The McCraith house is national heritage listed[2] and remains astonishingly close to its original state including "exterior and interior wall colours, furniture, crockery, even the bed linen".[3]
