The Children’s Museum of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, is a 24,000 square foot marvel showcasing locally sourced Structural Round Timber (SRT), bright colors, and natural light from sprawling glass windows. SRT provides carbon sequestration and sustainable construction, making it a great choice for eco sustainability in architecture. The museum is a collaboration between renowned international architectural firm Steinberg and Hart with WholeTrees that sparks wonder and excitement in innovation, teaching children and anyone who enters a valuable lesson in how buildings are made. This partnership illuminates a new pathway for options in biophilic and sustainable architecture.

WholeTrees, founded and headquartered in Wisconsin, is a groundbreaking pioneer in organic and sustainable biophilic architecture and design. Their usage of the organic matter powerhouse Structural Round Timber (SRT) was referred to as “perhaps the most sustainable and biophilic mass timber product on the market.   Their mission is to provide sustainable design at affordable price points, creating touchstones of organic matter throughout design spaces and reducing their carbon footprint. Bringing nature indoors, WholeTrees creates moments of awareness and gratitude for the building blocks of the structures they create, and the world around us.
