Volume Inc.

The Boy Scouts of America / Trinity Works commissioned Volume Inc. to design an exhibition program that tells a sustainability story through the actual Sustainability Treehouse. Designed by Mithun, the Net Zero structure meets the standards of the Living Building Challenge: all its power comes from the sun and the wind, all the necessary water is rain-captured, and all its waste is recycled and reused. The main challenge was to create an experience that would engage Boy Scouts eager to find the next adventure activity and leave them with a new perspective on sustainability. The design avoids outdated and formulaic exhibit solutions and, instead, delivers information in surprising and unexpected ways, down to the humorous and slightly irreverent tone of the exhibit text. As with the Sustainability Treehouse’s design and construction, nature’s natural processes inform the exhibit program which then translates these principles to the everyday living in one’s own house. Tactile, low-tech interaction encourages collaboration, motivating visitors to incorporate these Net Zero practices into their own lives and communities for the betterment of the planet.
