Seoul studio ArchiWorkshop has completed a luxury camping facility near the South Korean capital, which comprises three wooden cabins and a cluster of membranous sleeping pods raised above the rocky terrain on stilts (+ slideshow).

The Glamping on the Rock camping ground is located on the outskirts of Seoul in the Gapyeong district, which is known for its arboretum, pine forests and mountainous landscape.

ArchiWorkshop was asked to develop a scheme for the campsite that retains and celebrates its natural characteristics, while providing modern amenities and comfortable accommodation for visitors seeking to escape from the city.

"We pursue to express the atmosphere of the site character on our masterplan," said a project statement from the studio, which previously designed tents shaped like worms and doughnuts for another campsite in Yang-Pyeong. "When people visit the site, they should experience the nature as itself and should not be disturbed by destructed nature."
The campsite is located on the edge of a pine forest, on a plot of land that slopes steeply over 25 metres from one end to the other. Three wooden structures that step down the hillside protect the camping area from an adjacent access road.
