Description
Located on the site of a prior “camp”, Ledgewater Camp is designed for a family of four and their guests. It seeks to celebrate and connect users to the natural environment by prioritizing the experiential: sequencing circulation along unfolding spaces with views to heighten a sense of discovery and connection to the dramatic lakeside site, a dense Hemlock-Hardwood Pine Forest with steep topography and monumental outcrops of exposed ledge. The buildings integrate with the landscape in an organic way, as if their placement was inevitable. This includes terracing and massing that echoes the topographic geometry and a material palette that emulates the textural and neutral coloration of the exposed granite ledge and forested slope. The inter-connected interior and exterior spaces provide varying degrees of physical and visual connection to the site - ranging from the connected, expansive, and dramatic, to the very intimate, private and sheltered.
