The unique natural beauty of StillWater makes it one of the great
land assets in the Piedmont region.
The property includes over two hundred acres of diverse topography and
pristine virgin woodlands, leafy trails and frontage on scenic Lake
Hartwell. The new community was carefully designed by Dr. Lolly Tai with a
sensitivity and a stewardship of the land in order to preserve the site’s
most precious assets. JMK collaborated with the landscape architect to design
a setting that would be fitting to the Foothills area. Further, the architect
and landscape architect experimented with wind patterns, materials, light,
climate, spaces, energy conservation and the characteristics of the site. The
scope of work on the project involved all phases of design, incidental
engineering and construction administration. The pool and tennis complex is nestled within the natural woodland
surroundings located close to the main entrance. The design incorporates
natural materials: Tennessee fieldstone for the trellis columns and
fireplace, cedar shingles for the building.
Inspired by wooden vernacular of the Piedmont region, JMK left most of
the wood structure exposed. For energy conservation, louvers and vents were
utilized to naturally ventilate the building. Close coordination throughout
the project ensured that the project would be built to the original quality
and intent, while maintaining the original project cost estimates. Great care
was taken to enhance and protect scenic aspects of the project. Design Awards and Publications Honorable Mention, Planning and Design from the South Carolina Department of Land Resources. Merit Award, in recognition of
outstanding professional achievement from the American Society of Landscape
Architects presented by Tri-State Chapters Georgia, North Carolina and South
Carolina. The Pool and Tennis Complex was published in the book entitled
"Landscape Design for Energy Efficiency".
