First Coast - First Class Architecture

Jacksonville Beach clubs
Early America meets the modern world at the Ponte vedra plantation. You will fall in love with the exquisite architecture and innovative style of luxurious new homes in Ponte Vedra.

Real estate developers in Ponte Vedra have always aspired to offer exclusivity to their clientele. This exclusivity is evident in the architecture of Ponte vedra homes.

History of Jacksonville and its pre-renaissance architecture have always inspired the real estate developers to incorporate intricate design into modern architecture. This fusion of old and modern architectural delights is clearly visible in many of the Jacksonville Beach clubs. The most impressive and inspiring architecture amongst them are the GEORGIAN style, ART DECO style and CAPE COD style to name just a few.

GEORGIAN style

With a name befitting a king, this style dominated British colonies in the 1700s. Side-gabled roofs, two or three stories and brick construction are typical. Other Georgian trademarks include paired chimneys, a decorative crown over the front door and row of windows across the second story. Among the most long-lived styles of American building form, it’s still popular for new townhouses or suburban homes.

ART DECO style

Geometric decorative elements and a vertically oriented design are just two traits of Art Deco architecture. Flat roofs, metal window casements, and smooth stucco walls with rectangular cut-outs adorn the exteriors. Later additions include curved corners, glass-block windows, and a boat-like appearance. Art Deco was the first widely popular style in U.S. to break with revivalist tradition.

CAPE COD style

With origins as old as the United States, modern Cape Cods offer a small, uncomplicated shape (square or rectangular) with one or 1.5 stories and steeply pitched, gabled roofs. Dormers and shutters are typical and siding is usually clapboard or brick.

Watch out for this royal designs and architecture while buying your new home.
