Camp Winston Sensory Yurt Furnishings | Schematic Design and Site Visit

Students from Toronto Metropolitan University’s Department of Architectural Science are kicking off a design-build project with Camp Winston, focused on designing and fabricating furnishings for a sensory yurt. With the early ideas taking shape, the team visited the camp to document the installation space and present initial concepts to the Camp Winston Team, gathering feedback on what the children need most. 

Working in small teams, the students pitched several designs that aim to create a calming environment that offers unique and engaging sensory experiences for kids. The team left the site visit with valuable feedback and a fun, memorable taste of camp life.
