Willow House / StudioAC

Located in a suburban neighborhood of Toronto, the design of this family home is guided by the presence of a large willow tree on the site. Rather than conforming to the orientation of the typical suburban fabric of the area, the home prioritizes the tree as a primary feature. The design consists of three simple rectangular volumes that are rotated to accommodate the tree's root system, respond to the site boundaries, and provide ample natural light to the interior spaces.
