Live Oak Campground

We recently completed construction documents for a comfort station at the Live Oak Campground for the Santa Barbara County Parks & Recreation Department.  With rustic materials and a simple modern design, the station intends to provide a refuge for campers to refresh while maintaining an outdoor-focused experience.  Replacing a previous structure that had walls but was otherwise open-air, the new station features large elliptical skyholes in the roof above the shower room providing bathers with sunlight and views of the sky, while the clerestory opens directly to the camp’s famous oak trees surrounding the structure.  Construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.
