Camp Bluebird

New Construction, Residential

The new residence is located just ﬁve blocks from Fredericksburg’s Main Street, in an old and quiet neighborhood with nearby expanses of open land. The home embodies comfort and relaxation in a nod to 19^th century vacation homes designed in the Camp Architecture style. Detached from the everyday hustle, the design emphasizes natural materials and strong connectivity to the outdoors.
