A New Prototypical Group Shelter

SSOE provided full architectural and engineering design services for a new prototypical group shelter building at Gordonia-Alatamaha State Park to replace the existing facilities.

Incorporating Elements Of Nature

The building features an assembly space, a self-service kitchen, restroom facilities, and a covered porch overlooking the scenic wetlands. The project also includes a screened grille building and day-use restroom facilities.

The building design uses natural materials such as wood board and batten and stone wainscot with exposed timber trusses. The classic design style provides a comforting setting for park visitors.
