The Willis Residence is a single-family house that projects a horizontal wood volume across a gently sloping terrain as it assimilates a simple form and natural materials into a predominately suburban context. The house is sited outside the eastern limits of Fayetteville, Arkansas in an area dominated by late 20th century suburban homes. It sits perpendicular to the gentle slope between two converging swales and overlooks a small pond on the south end of the property. The house is aligned with the neighbor to the north, but pivots slightly to frame the view and expand the yard to the west.
