It was a BIG day. 25 years is a long time—and worth stopping to celebrate. Thankful for amazing partners, an awesome team, and great clients that make our work fun.

If you’ve been part of the ELM Experience, directly or indirectly, thank you!

Golf Performance Centers are redefining the private club experience by bringing together instruction, technology, club fitting, entertainment, and social connection. ELM Principal Steve Lovett explores how these year-round amenities can strengthen member engagement, enhance golf programming, and create lasting value for clubs.

The Tide Club at Julington Creek, a $34 million transformation of the community’s aquatics complex and park, is now complete. Designed by ELM | Ervin Lovett Miller, a Jacksonville-based architecture, landscape architecture, and planning firm, the project replaces aging amenities with a new dynamic destination for residents of one of St. Johns County’s most established residential communities.

The first phase of Julington Creek Plantation’s $34-million reinvestment is now complete with the opening of Treehouse Trails—a reimagined community park designed by ELM. The new experience features a multi-level treehouse, an adventure hill with an embankment slide, expanded play areas, renovated pavilions, new picnic shelters, a flexible lawn for gatherings and outdoor fitness, locally sourced boulders, native plantings, and accessible pathways woven throughout. Designed for all ages and abilities, Treehouse Trails brings community and nature together.

Rebuilding with Resilience

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, the future of Asheville’s River Arts District depends on innovative, sustainable design. Architect Jason Tankersley of ELM Ervin Lovett Miller is mentoring KSU’s 4th-year Urban Lab studio, guiding students as they explore real-world solutions for rebuilding this vibrant community while preserving its identity.

This September, students will present their work at AIA Aspire in Asheville, showcasing their vision for a more resilient future. Read more about how architecture and mentorship are shaping the next generation of urban problem-solvers.
