McCraith House, Modernist house in Dromana, Victoria, Australia.
The McCraith House stands elevated on a stone plinth, featuring triangulated steel frames and a distinctive butterfly roof that extends over Port Phillip Bay.
In 1954, architects Chancellor and Patrick created this residential structure for Gerald and Ellen McCraith, completing the construction in 1956.
This residential building established new standards for Australian holiday houses by emphasizing bay views and incorporating modern structural elements in domestic architecture.
The first floor contains the main living area and a bedroom, while the ground level provides space for car parking beneath the cantilevered structure.
The house employs prefabricated structural steel and features geometric timber joists supporting the roof in a configuration that reflects modernist architectural principles.
