New York-based firm Workshop/APD has designed the master plan of AutoCamp Cape Cod, a 14-acre site that includes accommodations like cabins, Airstreams, and tents, a clubhouse featuring a mid-century modern lounge with an indoor fireplace and cozy seating, a general store, and restrooms with luxury showers.

One of the interior design details that caught our eye was the inclusion of tiered seating in the Clubhouse.

Made from concrete the tiered seating has wood benches as well as flat cushions that make it a comfortable spot to relax close to the fireplace.

To soften the look of the concrete tiers and to add a natural element, the designers included built-in planters on two different levels that house a variety of plants.
