Camp Kanata is a 150-acre camp site operated by the YMCA of the Triangle. It serves as a day and overnight camp which can accommodate several hundred children at any given time. The design team took cues from the language of the existing cabins and other structures on site to create a modern yet contextual aesthetic for the building. The basic diagram is two A-frame structures linked by a glass connector. The composition was thoughtfully conceived and offers a clean and simple solution. The interior finishes are spare in keeping with the precedent of the camp and budgetary constraints.
