Nestled in the heart of Boston, the David Rubenstein Treehouse at Harvard University designed by Studio Gang, showcases a forward-looking approach to sustainable design. The 55,000 square foot structure pairs mass timber with innovative low-carbon concrete to create a serene, nature-connected environment. Its exterior is finished in Sansin’s WoodForce Pale Gray WF-01, a 0-VOC, naturally weathering wood treatment that delivers exceptional water repellency and protection from UV, moisture, and blackening. Pale Gray offers the wood a calming presence while transitioning into a naturally weathered look. Together, these elements present a model for healthy, low-impact building that sets a compelling example for Boston and institutions around the world.
