Adirondack Great Camp This was a design-build project by Wallant Associate Steve Janenka. A humble but beloved family camp that was completely engulfed in new construction, and dismantled from within as the new building emerged. The project became an arts and crafts love affair for those of us working on it, with thousands of board …
ADIRONDACK LAKE CAMP This is another design-build project by Steve Janenka. The owner of this camp had personally built the original building 20 years earlier.
