入围 2004 年 RIBA Manser 奖章。

蝴蝶屋是一个巨大的建筑雕塑，灵感来自蝴蝶的生命周期，以宜居的规模展示实验性环境设计。作为动物形态设计的实验，改造后的 1930 年代木结构家庭住宅影射了蝴蝶生命周期中的每 一次变化。

幼虫阶段由带有弯曲栏杆的钢桥作代表，暗示着通往房屋的毛虫的分段身体；蛹被楼梯、房屋和温室的封闭区域体现；最后的化蝶阶段由可伸缩的带翼的外部顶篷在铺砌的花园空间上方作为遮阳伞展开来呈现。房子的内部充满了鲜活的色彩，并由一张纤维、电线和电缆组成的网，把住户“包裹”起来。

Shortlisted for the 2004 RIBA Manser Medal.

Butterfly House is a dramatic architectural sculpture inspired by the lifecycle of a butterfly, a demonstration of experimental environmental design on a liveable scale. An experiment in zoomorphic design, the remodelled 1930s timber-clad family home traces each change in the butterfly lifecycle.

The larval stage is represented by the steel bridge with curved balustrades that hint at the segmented body of a caterpillar leading to the house, the chrysalis is captured by the staircase, enclosed areas of the house and conservatory and the final winged insect is represented by retractable winged external canopies spread as sun shades over a paved garden space. The interior of the house is ‘alive’ with colour and a web of fibres, wires and cables, cocooning its inhabitants.

“切特伍德的惊人创作颠覆了人们对不太可能使用的形状、 材料和纹理的认知，既把其功能发挥得淋漓尽致又改变了人们对它的理解。”威尔琼斯 – 新住宅建筑学。

“Laurie Chetwood’s startling creation is a riot of unlikely shapes, materials and textures that encapsulate the building function while transforming one’s perception of it.” Will Jones – New Residential Architecture.
