Osprey Court
Location: Jacksonville Beach, FL
Client: Private Business Owner
Located only one block from the beach, Osprey Court occupies a quarter of a city block and is home to 4 wood frame structures. These existing two-story buildings were purchased by the owner and then relocated to their new (now current) site and placed on new foundations. Osprey Court is a mixed-use project, with commercial spaces on the ground floor level and residences above. Resident parking is located on site at ground level, and all buildings are connected via a walkway on the second level. Re-using local existing buildings and relocating them saved resources and construction expense. Osprey Court reintroduces the idea of a potential live-work situation for residents, which over the long term can significantly reduce travel time to work and, ultimately, emissions and pollution to our environment. Last but not least, Osprey Court also helped the Beaches area preserve its local character and charm.
