HIDDEN HARBOR RESIDENCE

Nestled within a secluded corner of Siesta Key, Hidden Harbor Residence was conceived as the ultimate luxury Florida home for large family gatherings and entertaining. The uniquely shaped site, which enjoys views of downtown Sarasota, makes water the primary focus—Roberts Bay becomes an extension of the home’s large pool and terraced deck.

The interiors are open and inviting, beginning with the foyer, which features a glass floor above a water feature, leading into the double-height central living space that overlooks the pool and bay beyond. A large wine room is a showpiece, with tall shelves and glass walls that place it on display from key interior spaces as well as from the exterior. A large roof deck, theater room and game rooms contribute to the party atmosphere, and a guest suite connects via an elevated walkway.

Indoor and outdoor spaces blur together at the Hidden Harbor Residence. Operable windows allow for bay breezes to penetrate, and expansive overhangs lined with ipe wood cast cooling shade on outdoor living areas. A louvered panel system can be closed to protect the home during bad weather, such as hurricanes, but on sunny days it filters the light and creates a dynamic play of shadows across the facades.

Carefully integrated landscaping softens the modern geometry of the home, grounding it in its tropical setting. Palm trees rise through roof openings and terraces, while lush plantings surround outdoor living areas to heighten privacy and create a resort-like ambiance. The use of natural materials—particularly warm wood ceilings and slatted facades—reinforces the connection to nature while casting dappled light across interiors. Elevated walkways and bridges further enhance the sense of discovery, offering constantly shifting perspectives of the bay, pool, and gardens.

At night, Hidden Harbor Residence comes alive with a theatrical glow. The expansive pool reflects the warm wood ceilings and carefully placed lighting, transforming the terraces into a series of intimate lounges for conversation, dining, or quiet retreat. A sunken fire lounge at the water’s edge offers a dramatic focal point, where the flicker of flames mirrors the sparkle of the bay beyond. In every moment—whether vibrant and social or quiet and reflective—the residence embodies the essence of Florida coastal luxury living.
