Designed by Canadian architecture firm Mainstudio, the Eagle's Nest bunkhouse in Quebec's Saint-Côme is a playful reimagination of a classic camp bunkhouse. With its primary goal to accommodate up to thirty campers from the Père Lindsay Camp of Music, the building replaces an aging cottage on the same site. In spectacular fashion, we might add.
Inspired by children's drawings and the youthful joy of attending summer camp, the designers brought to life the classic childhood interpretation of a house-a triangle atop a square. Using these two shapes as guidance, Mainstudio designed a deceptively simple pair of buildings, understated in materials but bold in form.
