River Camps at Crooked Creek

This 1,500-acre woodland preserve is the site of a development that restored the native landscape, while developing an ecologically sensitive residential community that actively embraces the environment. The River House, various model cabins and the Southern Living Idea House are simple structures that facilitate cross ventilation, provide balanced daylighting and rest lightly upon the land. Screened porches, balconies, broad overhangs and elevated first floors all respond to the climate and are consistently used to define the wood-framed cabins and structures.
