Don Carter State Park
The overall goal is to create a park which is self-sustaining and maintains a minimal impact on the natural environment, not only as a matter of principle but as an active example to others.
Houser Walker Architecture provided designs and future prototypes for multiple building typologies including: a visitor’s center, picnic shelters, comfort stations, river lodges, cabins, and maintenance facilities, including others.

The Don Carter State Park project will be an approximately 780 acre new State Park, to be developed by the Georgia State Department of Natural Resources as a recreational amenity for citizens and visitors alike. It is anticipated that all other structures will meet or exceed LEED Silver or the Earthcraft for Homes guidelines, published by the Southface Energy Institute.
