The Chelsea Lofts Condomiinium Project is now open for inspection. A tour of this unique condominium project in Riverside, Florida is an experience you won't want to miss. Typically, one might see nine-foot sculptures amid the creative landscapes of museums and libraries or gracing the foyers of public buildings, but rarely in the courtyards of town homes and condominiums. Until now.
The Chelsea Lofts, a visionary new Jacksonville loft development at the corner of Goodwin and Herschel streets in historic Riverside, Florida, is a 20-unit three-story work of classic architectural excellence infused with artistic interiors and high-end finishes - balconies, French doors, high ceilings, and modern high-tech amenities - designed to celebrate modern urban lifestyles.
Such luminaries as Frank Lloyd Wright, Andrea Palladio, and R. Buckminster Fuller turned architecture into an art form. But Cranewoods Development of Jacksonville, Florida has expanded architectural conventions by incorporating traditional art to the plain vanilla wrapper of residential condo development plans.
"We wanted to create a piece of art that would fit the style of our condos and the Riverside/Avondale area," Cranewoods Development Manager Andrew Howe said.
The lofts' artistic expression is highlighted by the work of Alex Kovacs, famed New York sculptor. A contemporary Kovacs original sculpture will adorn the grounds of the completed Chelsea Lofts Condominium Project and the sculpture was recently unveiled by the developer.
