Bay Isle Horizon

Set along Sarasota Bay with commanding views of the downtown skyline and Ringling Bridge, this elevated waterfront residence was designed to capture light, horizon, and movement at every level. The primary living floor opens to an infinity-edge pool deck where water visually disappears into the bay beyond, creating a seamless connection between architecture and setting.

Surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, the property carries a private, resort-like atmosphere. Layered greenery softens the structure while framing long water views, and outdoor living spaces function as true extensions of the interior — elevated, open, and oriented toward sunset.

Designed by CMSA with interiors by Hughes Design, the home balances strong architectural lines with warmth and material depth. Parklex cladding, expansive glass, and a restrained coastal palette define the exterior expression, while white oak detailing introduces refinement and continuity throughout the interior.

At the center of the home, a white oak-clad stair rises through all four levels, anchored by a dramatic top-to-bottom chandelier that draws the eye upward and fills the vertical core with light. Adjacent, a glass elevator with storefront openings at the primary living levels reinforces transparency and vertical alignment.

The upper level features four guest suites, each positioned to capture a uniquely distinct view shaped by architectural framing and curated landscaping. From skyline vistas to layered tropical perspectives, each suite offers a different experience of the surrounding setting.

The rooftop terrace crowns the residence, offering panoramic sunset views across Sarasota Bay — a private vantage point above the skyline.

Behind the clean lines, extensive coordination ensured that structural systems, flood mitigation strategies, and concealed mechanical integration were executed without compromising architectural clarity.

The result is a refined waterfront residence that feels elevated, immersive, and distinctly Sarasota — combining resort-level atmosphere with disciplined execution.
