Willows

This custom project is a highly unique home defined by an organic, nonlinear design that moves beyond a conventional box form. The layout is composed of interconnected spaces that respond to both structure and experience, creating a home that feels dynamic and intentionally shaped.

From the moment you arrive, the home signals that it is something special. At the entrance, full tree trunks replace traditional posts, framing a custom front door and establishing the natural material language that carries throughout the design. Inside, this concept continues with two massive trees set into beds of smooth river rock, rising to support the second-floor loft. These natural structural elements create a grounded and sculptural presence that connects the home directly to its surroundings.

At the center of the design, the great room rises to 20 feet, with tongue and groove peaked ceilings and extensive post and beam construction that define the interior. The open loft above overlooks the main living space, reinforcing the vertical connection and enhancing the overall sense of volume.

The result is a one-of-a-kind home that balances craftsmanship, structure, and natural materials in a way that is both expressive and highly livable.

The Efficiency of Prefabrication
This project highlights Tamlin’s ability to deliver complex and highly customized home packages. Prefabricated timber elements and structural components were manufactured to ensure precision and consistency, allowing the design to be executed as intended.

This approach reduces on site variability while maintaining the flexibility required for unique architectural features, supporting a more efficient and predictable construction process.
