Covered in dense, green forest, Gambier island is a sanctuary of wilderness. Among the sparsely populated inlets lies Camp Fircom, a versatile retreat which operates with deep respect for the incredible scenery and ecology around it.<\/p>\n

The off-the-grid cabin is in middle of the island\u2019s rainforest and is only accessible by foot. Surrounded by a cathedral of trees the cabin is placed in a small clearing on a gentle slope, floating above the ground in order to respect and leave the landscape pristine.<\/p>\n

The cabin is designed to accommodate two tenants throughout the summer months in the intimate sleeping pod. The interior room is a tranquil space among the vastness of the forest.\u00a0Drawing on the nostalgia of camp, additional sleeping spaces offers two open-air bunks and a loft area above. This densely programmed and detailed pod is sheltered under a light roof structure.\u00a0The exterior cedar deck that wraps culminates in a generous outside room at the southern end, which overlooks the fire pit.<\/p>\n
