Blue Wall Center

Cleveland, SC

Situated in the uniform forest of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Blue Wall Center provides a visitor experience that exposes the historical, cultural, ecological, and hydrological layers of its surroundings by creating a series of rooms which acts as unique destinations to support diverse programming and educational experiences. Each distinct room is a "micro-climate" dedicated to a specific theme, experience, and specific types of flora and fauna, acting as an aberration to the uniform nature of the surrounding forest. Each room is built within the former campsite, taking advantage of the existing site conditions while fully reconstructing the ecology and identity of the landscape, providing unique and compelling experiences in every season. Part nature sanctuary, part art-park, part eco-retreat, part rural event space, the BWC will attract visitors year round.
