The Blue Wall Center transforms a former camp site into an outdoor experience that encourages visitors to enjoy, explore, understand, and conserve the rich and unique landscape of the Upstate region of South Carolina.
Pierced by a series of atriums that bring the outdoors deep into the building’s interior, the Center frames “living exhibits” of the region’s flora, fauna, and geology. Adjacent outdoor spaces are designed to work in the same way, with a series of “garden rooms” designed to focus, magnify, and intensify the site’s subtle beauty.
