Project Overview:
In the 1930s, a family from Denver, Colorado, built the first one-room log cabin in a secluded valley near Rocky Mountain National Park. Seven other families followed. Together, they created a summer experience of fishing, hiking, and horseback riding that has endured for four generations.

Camp Meeker, built by the grandson of the original family, explores and deepens the community’s future. It evokes memories of summers past while creating new possibilities for communal living. Camp Meeker’s zero-carbon design draws on the vernacular of early miner cabins while creating a new design language inspiring the community’s future.
