The David Rubenstein Treehouse at Harvard University is Completed in Boston!

The David Rubenstein Treehouse establishes a very different kind of hub for convening at Harvard University: a welcoming destination that energizes conversation and collaboration, and embraces its outdoor environment and surrounding neighborhood. With its expressive structure of mass timber and innovative low-carbon concrete, both firsts for Harvard’s campus, the Rubenstein Treehouse also visibly models a greener way of building for Boston and institutions worldwide.

Actionable Idealism

We want to live in a world where people actively support one another as part of our planet’s greater network of living things. We believe that as architects, we have a critical role to play in creating places that support environmental resiliency, foster equity and justice, and empower historically marginalized communities.

Amplifying Cross-Disciplinary Learning in Higher Education

Creating a Vertical Campus for Scholarship and Cultural Exchange

The University of Chicago John W. Boyer Center in Paris serves as a new European hub for scholarship and research in Paris’s 13th arrondissement.

Welcoming Visitors and Residents to Downtown Denver

Opening itself to the city and the Rocky Mountains beyond, Populus brings guests within walking distance of Denver’s civic, arts, and commercial districts, while inviting visitors and locals to engage with the building’s ground floor and rooftop restaurants.
