12 | 6 | 2019CONSTRUCTION FOR THE CHEWONKI FOUNDATION’S NEW CAMP FOR GIRLS HAS BEGUN!

The first of five timber cabin frames designed by Susan T Rodriguez | Architecture • Design for the Chewonki Foundation’s new Girls’ Camp is now up! The timber frames are fabricated by Shelter Institute at their shop in Woolrich, Maine, using locally sourced hemlock, and are raised on site in a single day.  Each frame is based on an 8-foot planning module and will sponsor strategic openings to allow an abundance of light, activate passive ventilation, and provide a view of the surrounding forest from each bunk. The four remaining timber frames will go up in the coming weeks.
