In keeping with our commitment to blending in and feeling like a natural part of the area, the architecture of Oakland Park draws great inspiration from historic homes in
Oakland
and Winter Garden. This vision mandates original designs and a 360-degree approach to detail, not merely facing the home with historically appropriate trappings.
Homes are oriented toward the street with the interiors given an outward-facing perspective. Homes are serviced by a rear alley or garage, contributing to the aesthetic and pedestrian-friendly nature of Oakland Park. Generous front porches allow ample opportunity for interaction with neighbors and a feeling of emotional investment in - and connection to - this small-town community. As towns evolved and grew in the 1800s and early 1900s, different types of residences would be added to existing streets as the need arose. Following that precedent, we've chosen to combine attached and detached residences along the same thoroughfare to capture the welcoming aura found on residential streets of that era. Exceptional attention to detail and authenticity of design are an integral part of the vision to recreate in Oakland Park now what the original settlement might have been like.
