Dominating the 97-square-foot structure is a butterfly roof, which channels rainwater to a central spout to be directed to the pond. Adding to the zen experience are water reflections that are projected onto the soffit throughout the day. Photo 1 of 20 in 20 Modern Homes From the Midwest from Detail We Love: Butterfly Roofs
