James Pozzetta, Architect

​I am a State of Florida Licensed Architect and a LEED Accredited Professional.  I hold both a Bachelor’s Degree in Design and a Master’s Degree of Architecture from the University of Florida.  While attending school, I spent several years studying architecture abroad in Italy at the Vicenza Institute of Architecture. While there, I developed a passion for historic architecture and witnessed firsthand the complexities of combining historically sensitive design work with practical applications of modern materials and uses.

​

In 1996, I moved to Fernandina Beach to work as an intern architect. As my career developed, I learned to appreciate and understand the historic underpinnings of the fabric of Fernandina Beach’s architecture.  After earning my Architect’s License from the State of Florida, I opened up my own practice in 2012 and have been designing projects on and off Amelia Island, from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando, and Jacksonville to Fernandina Beach.

​

Currently I serve as the Chair of the Fernandina Beach Historic District Council and as Chair of the Brady Point Preserve ARC. I am also on the Architectural Review Boards for the Amelia Island Plantation, Pirate’s Cove, Ocean Ridge, Beach Haven and North Hampton. In these communities the predominant style is a hybrid Florida Coastal Vernacular architecture that blends historical forms with modern practices.

​​

I am happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to the opportunity to serve my clients and our growing community.
