EAST WILLOW HOUSE is designed to complete the four corners of a well traveled intersection on Germantown Avenue in the heart of Chestnut Hill. Germantown Avenue is a long, historic thoroughfare bisecting a well established, lively residential community. Over time Germantown Avenue has become an open air shopping mall of two and three story buildings including many historic houses with a variety of convenience shopping at street level and apartments and offices placed on the upper floors.

East Willow House is designed to reinforce this accepted, vigorous commercial and residential mix with two light-filled, airy commercial spaces at grade and five loft apartments above facing outwards onto a private garden court.
