This project is about using extremely
succinct moves to radically transform and ennoble an undistinguished old building,
making it into a
high-performing centerpiece of
a precious 180 acre camp landscape in the Malibu hills.
This
run-down building has served thousands of campers over its 55 year
history. It has been closed off from its context, effectively
disconnecting itself from the outdoors for over half a century. With
a limited budget and the virtual certainty of triggering significant
environmental regulations with new construction, it was decided
to try to save this underperforming, unremarkable building. The solution was to leverage an extraordinary site, an oak-filled riparian valley floor--that
has always been disconnected from the interior denying significant access,
views and natural light—by dramatically and simply opening the building up,
both horizontally to the landscape, and vertically to the sky and the tree
tops.
The Greenest
act of all: Take
dank throwaway building, save it, let nature-air, view, space, and light-in and make
it the campus center. Features include: Large French doors
replacing small windows,
A huge new deck with seating edges to meet grade
and accommodate large groups or many small groupings,
New poured-in-place indoor
and outdoor grand fireplace and hearth,
Recycled
linoleum flooring and wall/ceiling plywood sheathing,
Grand
skylight illuminating and articulating many new spaces with light,
New swamp-coolers, together with massive fresh air
from new openings – to achieve extremely energy efficient comfort.
