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.

This month marks ELM’s 24th Anniversary—a journey that began in a small studio above a garage in San Marco and has grown into a dynamic, collaborative design practice of nearly thirty talented professionals. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of shaping communities, building lasting relationships, and creating places that add value to people’s lives.

Set along the St. Johns River, the Florida Yacht Club (FYC) has been a cornerstone of Jacksonville’s social and nautical life for over a century. As FYC approached its upcoming 150th anniversary in 2026, the Club embarked on a visionary renewal—one that would honor its distinguished legacy while thoughtfully preparing for the future.
