DWY’s design, with tropical plantings, an amenity-rich pool deck, and a rooftop terrace, contributes to an aura of privacy, exclusivity, and escape for this new, 18-story ultra-luxurious condominium in downtown Sarasota. With a goal of creating an inviting and dynamic amenity deck for a range of group sizes, DWY programmed spaces to accommodate outdoor activities, socializing, and events with grills, dining and lounging areas, a lap pool, pergolas, and pavilions. The project’s minimalist design (inspired by the Sarasota School of Architecture) blurs the lines of indoor and outdoor living. The design’s arrival sequence incorporates a streetscape and custom planters at the porte-cochère. The indoor-outdoor experience continues through the third-floor pool deck with custom pergolas and seating arrangements that support both flexible communal or private gatherings and then extends to the rooftop terrace where residents can enjoy sunset views over Sarasota Bay.
