The Coastal Summer Camp lodge was intended to be a sanctuary for students and teachers during summer courses or during summer break.

​

The design intent was to create a space on an outcropping of rock near the Pacific Ocean where a large group of teenagers could retreat for the summer to a quiet, relaxing, and natural environment that is also conducive to learning.

The multi-story facility was nestled in the woods, on a small exposed parcel of grass immediately adjacent to the beach.

​

This would allow occupants to take advantage of the nature that surrounds them, as well as having immediate access to recreational activities including hiking, beach lounging, surfing, and nigh-time bon-fires..
