SH Hotels & Resorts will unveil Treehouse Hotels’ inaugural U.S. location in Sunnyvale, California next year.
With architecture by SB Architects and interiors by CRÈME in collaboration with SH’s in-house team, Treehouse Silicon Valley repurposes several existing structures and incorporates a new six-story building constructed off-site using modular methods that significantly reduce environmental impact and waste.
Drawing inspiration from the fruit farms and orchards that populated Sunnyvale prior to the tech firm boom, the hotel’s 254 guestrooms, including 21 suites, each feature cozy natural materials, artisan-crafted furniture, and private outdoor spaces. Paying further homage to the city’s agricultural heritage, the property’s landscaping is lush with hundreds of native oaks, redwoods, fruit trees, and more than 20,000 thriving plants.
Treehouse Sunnyvale brings “the spirit of home and familiarity to the neighborhood,” says CRÈME principal Jun Aizaki. “The goal is for guests to experience the same feeling as when they are returning to their childhood home, with moments of nostalgia and wonder, adventure, and discovery.”
The property’s interior design convey a sense of childlike wonder through elements like soft sofas built into rough-hewn wooden bookcases, distressed wooden desks and ceiling beams, colorful pillows, and quirky quilts. A playful, treehouse-like quality is further enhanced with handcrafted accents, secret nooks, hammocks, hideaways, and discoverable lookouts.
This whimsical aesthetic also extends into onsite amenities, which include a casual café, beer garden, courtyard pool, and fitness facility.
