可持续树屋是一个以生态建筑挑战（世界上最严格的可持续认证计划，译者注）为目标的项目，这个具有解释说明性质的集会设施位于Summit Bechtel保护区的森林中，它是露营冒险、环境管理和创新建筑设计的独特标志。Mithun事务所领导整个设计过程和一支跨学科小组，实现了这个迷人的高性能设施。该树屋为人们提供了动态的教育空间和集会空间，人们可以在地面、树冠和空中探索项目场地，了解生态系统。高耸的耐候钢框架让游客可以在高处欣赏非凡的景色，还为绿色建筑系统提供了支撑，这些系统包括太阳能光伏板、风力涡轮机、一个大水箱和水清洁系统等。互动展品向人们展示了可持续技术的优势。总的来说，树屋捕捉到了童年探索的奇妙，让每年上千名的游客在获得有意义的体验和露营信息的同时，还受到了环境保护方面的教育。

From the architect. The Sustainability Treehouse, a Living Building Challenge targeted interpretive and gathering facility situated in the forest at the Summit Bechtel Reserve, serves as a unique icon of camp adventure, environmental stewardship and innovative building design. Mithun led the integrated design process and a multidisciplinary team to achieve the engaging, high‐performance facility.
The Treehouse provides dynamic educational and gathering spaces for exploring and understanding the site and ecosystem at the levels of ground, tree canopy, and sky. The towering Corten steel frame elevates visitors to extraordinary vantages and provides an armature for green building systems, such as photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, and a large cistern and water cleansing system. Interactive exhibits showcase and celebrate sustainable technologies.
Overall, the Treehouse captures the wonder of childhood exploration and places environmental education at the forefront of meaningful experiences and camp messages for thousands of annual visitors to take home.
