Summer Camp

This summer camp in Dilijan, Armenia houses educational, athletic, and residential facilities. It is intended to function as a youth camp during the Summers and a business and conference center during the rest of the year.  One of the many challenges in designing this summer camp was dealing with the topography of the land. The site is along a steep and heavily forested incline. We responded to this challenge by breaking the structure into a network of smaller buildings, which cascade down the slope of the mountain.  The smaller scale of our structures not only adapts to the natural setting but also resembles the architectural environment of the city of Dilijan. The layout of the buildings encourages campers to spend time outdoors and appreciate nature, while still providing a modern and minimalist feel that fits the needs of visitors to the site.
