Design/Build Team

The LEED design build team meets at the building site of River Lodge to discuss project.

Our goal in selecting our core professionals, and lead suppliers, was to find local talent who would be extraordinarily dedicated to the goals of this project.  We succeeded beyond our expectations.  We have been extremely fortunate to find a team that embraced the green directive of the River Lodge by providing the highest quality in services, products and value.

	Architect – Joshua Dourte of Roost Architecture, Inc.Josh and his family are personally dedicated to a sustainable lifestyle, which is evident in every facet of the design of the River Lodge.  An experienced professional, Josh has contributed extraordinary time and energy to this project and has served as the team leader (including for the LEED certification process) and its visionary.
	General Contractor – Don Park of Park Custom Homes Inc.Don is a master builder.  He embraced the project enthusiastically and is making it a reality through cost-saving innovations, negotiations with vendors and adhering to a strict timetable.  Don is instantly available by text or e-mail, often after business hours, and he photographs each step of the building process.  This includes what can be found in every wall and underground.  He has earned a green leaf for his company logo and immeasurable thanks from us.
	Landscape Architect – Howard Jay SupnikHowie developed a vision and plan for the River Lodge landscape. A professional landscape architect is not just a designer but connects the indoor living space with the outside living space. We are looking forward to implementing Howie’s plans and sketches to create living spaces which integrate the River Lodge with the many faces and seasons of the Susquehanna River and its surroundings.
