Camp Frio, a Multi-Family Compound by Tim Cuppett Architects
The goal for Camp Frio retreat was to create shelters with an environmental experience unique to its place where Summer madness gives way to Winter stillness.

Set atop a hardened lava flow with views of sky, sun, and water, this family compound strikes a balance between modernity and tradition.
Nestled into a Hemlock-Beech forest, the Lakeside Camping transforms an existing summer retreat into a three generation family compound. The camp’s quiet repose on the periphery of existing structures discreetly reorders the site, strengthening relational hierarchies and celebrating the landscape.
The Nantucket house, studio, and guesthouse all seamlessly relate to the multiple outdoor living areas. From an immense solar array to the geothermal heating and cooling, no detail has been overlooked.
