Haru Camping

B.U.S Architecture designed a camping in South Korea, preserving an existing forest with some buildings seeping into it, rather than heavily intervening with buildings construction and replanting.

The client wanted to create a space that reflected his own lifestyle and his attitude towards life; he wanted to share his camping culture with other people through the project and, furthermore, maintain a sustainable life. The camping cafe “Haru” is located in a little forest near the owner’s house, where he was born, grew up, and used to play.

  The project consists of seven small wooden glamping modules and a concrete building with a café. To create a “whole rest in the forest”, B.U.S Architects decided to build a little village against the backdrop of this little forest with some buildings seeping into it: rather than trees planted after the buildings completion – the trees were kept untouched.
