THE LAKE HOUSE AT LAKE CAROLINA WINS BALA AWARD
The Community Facility is a showcase of architectural and design excellence.

Columbia, SC (Feb 13, 2012) – Lake Carolina’s The Lake House was awarded a Best in American Living Silver Award, which was announced at the 2012 NAHB International Builders’ Show® in Orlando, FL. The Best in American Living Awards, BALA, spotlight the most creative and innovative builders, remodelers, designers, developers, land planners and interior designers in the nation. The facility was honored in the “Community Facility” category for design and architectural excellence.

The Lake House was built in 2011 on the shores of Lake Carolina, a 200-­‐acre lake surrounded by a residential masterplan containing 36 distinctive residential neighborhoods. Designed by Tunnell-­‐Spangler-­‐Walsh and Associates, of Atlanta, and built by Boyer Construction of Columbia, SC, The Lake House may be rented for parties, weddings, corporate events or meetings.

It is a wonderful amenity for our community.”
