TreeHouse

The new Dallas retail location for TreeHouse, Inc. creates an aspiring net-zero energy building while providing an artfully crafted, experiential retail experience that embodies the TreeHouse brand philosophy. TreeHouse projects to be the first net-zero energy retail building independent from the grid—an unprecedented first for a big-box retailer in Texas, as well as for any home improvement store of its kind nationwide.

A two-story volume programmed into a series of studios to help customers, TreeHouse takes shape as an L-shaped structure wrapped around the site’s one single existing tree — a heritage red oak. This tree reinforces the TreeHouse brand’s celebration of natural beauty, and its canopy provides refreshing shade and defines the outdoor retail space. Inside, touches of natural wood pay homage to trees outside of the store.
