We’re thrilled to see Camp Hall named the #1 Industrial Park/Maker Space in the U.S. by Business Facilities—a recognition that affirms the bold, human-centered vision behind this transformative project. Since its inception, Camp Hall has redefined what an industrial park can be, blending advanced manufacturing potential with an unprecedented focus on quality of life, community, and natural preservation. At Rush Dixon Architects, we’re proud to have been part of Camp Hall’s journey from the very beginning. Since 2019, our team has collaborated on the master planning and conceptual architecture, shaping a place that is not only functional for global industry but also forward-thinking in its integration of people and place.
One of the most distinctive contributions we made was the “Nature + Machine” design concept for Avian Commons, Camp Hall’s central amenity village. This concept explores the dynamic tension between high-performance industry and the organic beauty of the Lowcountry landscape - of specific note is the function, lightness and feathering of a bird’s wings. Through materiality, form, and spatial organization, the architecture honors both the precision of manufacturing and the fluid, evolving patterns found in nature.
Avian Commons serves as a hub for daily life within the industrial park—offering dining, fitness, trails, and community gathering spaces. The “Nature + Machine” approach grounds these experiences in a language of contrast and balance: sleek steel forms set against organic wood textures, hard geometries softened by light, landscape, and movement. It’s a place where people can shift gears—from work to wellness, from efficiency to reflection. Unlike traditional industrial campuses, Camp Hall breaks the mold by integrating preserved natural areas, multi-use trails, and thoughtful amenities—deliberately designed to attract and retain talent by supporting both productivity and well-being.
Our architectural vision was guided by a deep respect for the land, a commitment to environmental stewardship, and a belief that great design can foster connection—even in an industrial context. We’re honored that our early conceptual work helped set the tone for what Camp Hall has become: an award-winning model for the future of industry and innovation.
