ARCHERY PAVILION + GENERAL STORE

This pavilion provided a covered shooting position for archery and a new general store for camp Fircom. Built in 6 weeks on Gambier Island this collaborative project tested the limits of off-grid construction.

The archery range at Camp Fircom is located in a field on the western border of the camp, adjacent to the main road which connects the government wharf with the rest of Gambier island. Consequently, the site affords opportunities for engagement with the neighboring community which has been an enduring goal of Fircom’s directors. The inclusion of a tuck shop in the program combines storage space for archery range equipment with a small venue through which the camp can offer retail amenities to campers and island visitors alike.
