Long Bay Camp

The landscape is transitional, containing both boreal and broadleaf forests. A landscape intensification in concept, the form inhabits the bi-level site where existing structures sit and the grades are most gentle. A framework of pre-manufactured engineered wood and steel, laminated triple glazing and assemblies of enhanced insulation values contribute to sustainability. Sheathed entirely in corrugated weathering steel, the compound will be durable and low maintenance while the interior is warm and acoustically soft, built of a mixture of site-native hard and soft woods. Canada’s uncontrolled fires confirm the need to build robust and less combustible buildings.
