Masters Gentry Architects 

Location: Asheville, NC

Located in the Swannanoa Valley with picturesque views of the Black Mountains, the Welcome Pavilion at Camp Cedar Cliff is a heavy timber structure in which children are dropped off by parents, registered, and transported via buses into the camp. The design concept was to create a unique sense of arrival via an ensemble of sheltered exterior spaces oriented to take advantage of the views, and scaled in such a way that the structure is comfortable, yet large enough to accommodate vehicles and outdoor gatherings.
