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'. 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 Maufe.
