The Studio

Nestled in five wooded acres on Cape Cod between Falmouth and Woods Hole, Treehaus Studio serves as COLLINS' workspace away from the office—available to all team members for projects, personal work, or creative renewal. It offers what anyone needs to create: a change in contexts. Because when your surroundings shift, so can your mind. And when you change how you see, you change how you work.

The property includes a carefully restored 1870s shingled house, mid-century greenhouse, guest cottage, and dedicated studio space. Once home to a celebrated botanist and director of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the site now serves as both studio and sanctuary; a setting where focused work can unfold alongside restoration and reflection.

Our hope is simple: to immerse our colleagues and clients in the beauty and intelligence of nature, much as Bauhaus leaders once did when they built their architectural experiments on Cape Cod in the 1940s and ’50s. Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, and Buckminster Fuller all came here to explore new ideas—and to share what they discovered.

Treehaus carries that same spirit forward. Inspired by the poet David Whyte and the Bauhaus visionaries who gathered nearby, we curated it as a space where you can sink days into a book or use it as a homebase for exploring the National Seashore. It is a place where mistakes become momentum. And where time, occasionally, stops.

Equidistant to the house are totems to three pioneers: Just west of the house, one of Buckminster “Bucky” Fuller’s earliest geodesic domes still stands, watching over Woods Hole Road. To the east, a statue of Rachel Carson looks out toward the ocean—built to commemorate the 55th anniversary of Silent Spring. Carson first arrived in Woods Hole in 1929 as a 22-year-old summer researcher at the Marine Biological Laboratory. To the south stands a statue of Katherine Lee Bates, the Falmouth-born writer of America the Beautiful.

Surrounded by these quiet icons of curiosity, courage, and care, Treehaus invites each visitor to do what they did: to look closer, think differently, and make something that lasts.
