Text description provided by the architects. Camp at Cabot Beach is designed to address the needs of children between the ages of 8-17 who are living in families that have been affected by chronic illness or disability. The camp was established 5 years ago and runs for 3 weeks every August. In 2009 they needed new facilities.

我们与其他3名同事合作，在短短4个月内在现场设计和建造了营地。这些设施包括一个工作人员洗手间、一个露营厕所、一个室外淋浴、一个厨房和一个可容纳80名儿童和20名工作人员的餐厅。

In collaboration with 3 other colleagues, we lived on site to design and build the camp in a short 4 months. The facilities include a staff washroom, a camper washroom, outdoor showers, a kitchen, and a dining hall that accommodates 80 children and 20 staff.

其概念是创建一个线性布局，充当边界，与森林边缘一起确定营地的范围。一旦你越过这条“线”，你就会被营地的“泡泡”所拥抱。这是孩子们的逃亡。

The concept was to create a linear layout that acts as a boundary that together with the forest edge defines the realm of the camp. Once you pass across this ‘line’ you are embraced by the camp ‘bubble.’ This is the children’s escape.

简单的设计形式侧重于自然采光和被动通风。较重的南墙是隔热的，以遮挡炎热的夏季阳光和繁忙的农村社区的噪音。从公路和渔民村的角度看，建筑物的公共部分采用传统材料，将营地与其他农业建筑融为一体，形成一个简单的立面。北侧的设计是开放的，餐厅有较轻的透明墙壁，使室内和室外空间之间的边界倾斜。这样，在大厅内外进行的活动之间就保持了和谐。

The simple form of the design focuses on natural day lighting and passive ventilation. The heavier southern wall is insulated to block out the hot summer sun and the noise of the busy rural community. Viewed from the road and fisherman’s village, the public side of the building incorporates a simple facade using traditional materials, melding the camp into the landscape with other agricultural buildings. The north side is designed to be open, the dining hall having lighter transparent walls that skew the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. This way a harmony is maintained between the activities taking place both in and out of the hall.
