LOCATED ON HIGHLY SOUGHTAFTER ANNA MARIA ISLAND, this spectacular home occupies a unique 18,590 SF triangular property with over 500 feet of water frontage projecting directly into the pristine waters of Bimini Bay. Every detail of this 2020 custom home was carefully designed to take full advantage of this special location— steps from the beaches of Anna Maria and offering deep-water boating with no bridges to the Gulf of Mexico. With water views from every window, the peaceful ambiance of this location offers discerning buyers a serene retreat.
Upon entering through private gates into the lush tropical courtyard, you will see a bridge connecting the primary home to the guest house. Walking the exterior reveals an inlet with a 12,000-lb boat lift next to a 60-ft dock for your cruiser. The spacious property features a resort-like pool with fire and waterfalls, a manmade sandy beach, and a spectacular fire pit at the property’s tip, all protected by a reinforced concrete seawall. A gated breezeway leads from the courtyard to the pool and the elevated main
floor via either a solid walnut staircase or the Vertech residential glass-walled elevator.
Once inside, it's all about the view— uninterrupted and spectacular, and the only one of its kind on Anna Maria Island. These truly spectacular vistas demand attention. From the great room, looking over the gourmet kitchen and beyond the massive, covered lanai, your gaze sweeps past the swimming pool and landscaped gardens to the sparkling blue waters of Bimini Bay. Every angle offers a breathtaking panorama that captivates and enchants.
The expansive 800-SF lanai boasts an outdoor kitchen, a Teppanyaki table, a lounge area with a fire table, and a dining area overlooking the elevated spa and Bimini Bay. The effort put into the design of this warm and inviting home is evident, from its vaulted beamed ceilings and innovative kitchen lighting to the Elysium travertine flooring and retractable 20-ft sliders.
Often referred to as a private island resort, this home has so many features that it has its own website, AMIDreamHome.com.

Sarasota’s Most Characteristic and Influential Architectural Movement Is Still Going Strong
Sarasota is celebrated for its pristine beaches, cultural attractions, and small-town charm, but there is another jewel in our crown that is drawing visitors from far and wide: Sarasota’s acclaimed modern architecture, specifically the regional movement known as the Sarasota School of Architecture, which continues to define and elevate our architectural profile and urban landscape.
BIRTH OF THE SARASOTA SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE
In the 1940s, 50s, and 60s, Sarasota was a hub for forwardthinking architects who championed climate-responsive design and adapted modernist principles to the unique environment and landscape of Florida’s Gulf Coast. Led by pioneering designers such as Paul Rudolph, Ralph Twitchell, Victor Lundy, and others, this innovative approach became known as the Sarasota School of Architecture.
KEY PRINCIPLES AND CHARACTERISTICS
The Sarasota School was influenced by the broader Modernist movement of the early 20th century but developed its own unique characteristics. Buildings often featured clean lines, simple geometric forms, and large overhanging roofs that provided shade and protection from sudden rainstorms. Extensive use of glass, including Jalousie windows that could be adjusted to control airflow and light, was particularly favored. These, along with strategically placed clerestory windows and open floorplans, promoted natural ventilation and passive cooling.
ABOVE: Umbrella House (1953).
RIGHT: Healy Guest (“Cocoon”) House (1950)
Local materials like cypress wood and concrete block formed from Ocala limestone were frequently incorporated, grounding the structures in their regional context. Perhaps most distinctively, the Sarasota School emphasized the integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, resulting in buildings that were seamlessly connected to their natural surroundings.
The principles of the Sarasota School were applied to a variety of building types, from private residences to schools and civic buildings, leaving a lasting impact on the architectural landscape of the area.
“Sarasota, for its size, has always had a disproportionate impact on the world of architecture and design. People all over the world know Sarasota, partly because of the Sarasota School of Architecture movement.” - Marty Hylton III, President, Architecture Sarasota
THE UMBRELLA HOUSE
Paul Rudolph’s Umbrella House (1953) is a key example of the Sarasota School. The house’s distinctive sunshade, resembling an umbrella, extends beyond the house walls, providing protection from the intense Florida sun. The extensive use of glass and the floating umbrella structure give the house a sense of lightness and transparency, embodying the innovative spirit of mid-century modern design. A great deal of gratitude goes to Bob and Anne Essner for their passion in maintaining the Umbrella House in pristine condition and for generously sharing this treasure with the community.
REVERE QUALITY HOUSE
The Revere Quality House (1948), designed by Paul Rudolph and Ralph Twitchell, features expansive glass walls, an open floor plan, and generous overhanging eaves. Strategically placed windows and sliding glass doors harness sea breezes, while outdoor living spaces emphasize the connection between the house and its natural landscape. The use of materials like copper, brass, steel, and concrete, combined with traditional wood elements, created a distinctive aesthetic. Exposed concrete ceilings and visible support features exemplify the Sarasota School’s principle of “honesty of structural expression.”
COCOON HOUSE
The Healy Guest House, also known as the “Cocoon House” (1950), is an iconic example of the Sarasota School. This small beach house on Siesta Key has a unique roof structure covered in a polymer spray developed by the US military, creating a curved roof that appears to float above the structure. Large glass walls equipped with operable louvers facilitate cross-ventilation, while the house’s elevated position on concrete piers offers unobstructed views of the water. The integration of the Cocoon House with its surroundings results in a structure that feels like a natural extension of the environment.

“The Sarasota School of Architecture captures the character and essence of Sarasota, and though it waned in the 70s and 80s, it never really went away. Today, it’s alive and well!” – Morris Hylton III
FROM MID-CENTURY TO MODERN DAY
These contemporary designs incorporate Sarasota School characteristics such as extensive use of glass, large overhangs, open floorplans, bright, airy interiors, and a fluid connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
The principles of the Sarasota School continue to shape modern architecture in the region. While today’s homes incorporate modern amenities like air conditioning, elements such as overhangs, transparency, and thoughtful orientation remain influential.
Contemporary architects in Sarasota now use impact-resistant glass in place of jalousie windows, maintaining the visual connection to the outdoors while improving hurricane resistance. The emphasis on indoor-outdoor living persists, with many new homes featuring expansive sliding glass doors opening onto covered patios or pool areas.
Recent examples of homes reflecting Sarasota School principles include the Shibusa House, the Bay House, Strandhus, and the LS1 House.
ENDURING IMPACT
The Sarasota School of Architecture represents a unique and enduring movement in architecture, where innovation meets regional sensibility to create a style ideally suited to its environment. The School’s principles of climate-responsive design, integration with nature, and functional beauty continue to inspire architects and homeowners alike.
Architecture Sarasota’s highly anticipated MOD Weekend is November 14-17, 2024. This year’s theme, “Reawakening,” explores how Sarasota’s contemporary architects are evolving the core principles of the Sarasota School. Activities include guided architectural walking, boating, and kayak tours, yoga at The Umbrella House, guest lecturers, and more*. Visit ArchitectureSarasota.org for more information.
*The walking tour of Lido Shores is sponsored by Michael Saunders & Company, a proud supporter of Architecture Sarasota.

Luxury joins forces
ST. REGIS UNVEILS LONGBOAT KEY RESORT & RESIDENCES
By Lisa Moody
SHORTLY AFTER THE COLONIZATION OF AMERICA, if a surname had denoted royalty, it would undeniably have been the name Astor. In 1783, John Jacob Astor I, a young migrant from Germany, followed his dream of coming to America where he built a massive fortune from meager beginnings. Landing in New York, Astor started his first job as a pelt cleaner, becoming a successful investor with the money he made in the fur trade industry, and eventually earning him the title of real estate mogul. By 1830, he was the richest man in the world and the nation’s first multi-millionaire with the power and influence of a royal.
But it was his innovative and engineering-minded great-grandson, John Jacob “Jack” Astor IV, who built the original New York hotel brands we know today, including the Waldorf-Astoria and the St. Regis. Jack was inspired by his blue-blooded mother, Caroline Webster Schermerhorn Astor, who led New York’s socialites and luminaries in the Gilded Age.
Jack carried on the elite legacy that his great-grandfather had started. For over a century, St. Regis has been the leading name in luxury hotels and resorts. Renowned for its tradition of innovation and unwavering commitment to impeccable service, St. Regis offers supreme experiences at over 40 destinations worldwide. This year they added another location to their already impressive list: The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort. Here you will find a 5-star oceanfront community featuring a 166-room luxury hotel and 69 private residences situated across 18 acres overlooking one of the most pristine beachfronts found anywhere in the world.
While it’s hard to improve upon nature, The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort seamlessly captures the beauty of the beach through expansive balconies and several lounging, seating, and dining options that feature the Gulf as its focal point.
Residents will enjoy calling St. Regis Longboat Key Resort home while benefiting from all the amenities found just outside the door, including the St. Regis Spa, The Pools, featuring an array of swimming pools, luxury loungers, and personal cabanas, and unique experiences such as floating down the Winding River or swimming with tropical fish in the Saltwater Lagoon.
While available to the world, the intent is to engage the local community as well. “From expertly prepared steakhouse classics, artistically crafted in our Jasper charcoal grill at CW Prime, to house-made pasta at Riva, bringing authentic coastal Italian to the Gulf Coast, we will deliver an exceptional food and beverage journey to the Sarasota community and St. Regis residents and guests alike,” said executive chef, Alberto Taboada.
Passed down through generations, residents and guests at The St. Regis Longboat Key can expect the royal treatment to continue. The Butler Service provides a stellar level of care for guests and residents and eButler services make these comforts available at any hour by text or email.
Afternoon tea is a daily classic ritual with a modern twist. After 80 years, the iconic Bloody Mary that originated in 1934 at The St. Regis New York’s King Cole Bar remains the signature cocktail to enjoy as the sun comes up. As the sun sets over the Gulf of Mexico, the art of sabrage will continue as the St. Regis Evening Rituals series.
It is no accident that Michael Saunders & Company is the exclusive sales team for the private residences at The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort. Both entities share a passion for exquisite living and exceptional customer service. Yet the connection reaches beyond that. Reflecting on her childhood, Michael said, “Growing up on Longboat Key gave me a true reverence for nature and the environment. The

same things that made my childhood idyllic are the same things that draw visitors and residents to Longboat Key - a pristine, magical coastline of beautiful beaches, amazing sunrises and sunsets, and incredible waters to fish and explore.”
It was a natural partnership when Michael Saunders & Company joined forces with The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort. The luxury residences are analogous to what Michael Saunders & Company is known for and every home sold out long before the official opening of the resort.
The residences consist of 69 premiere Gulf-front condominiums and include 18 floorplans ranging from one-to four-bedrooms with 1,553 to 5,895 square feet of indoor living area and oversized outdoor terraces. All interiors include luxury finishes and top-of-the-line appliances, private elevator access and keyless entry to every residence, and outdoor terraces
include summer kitchens for family entertaining with a view. For both St. Regis and Michael Saunders & Company, the collaboration was an ideal pairing of two exquisite brands who realize and appreciate the magic of Longboat Key.
“The successful sellout of the stunning residences of The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort speaks to the ongoing demand from consumers who seek this discerning, refined yet laidback lifestyle that comes with impeccable service and all the amenities of a 5-star resort,” Michael said, and she should know. Her decades of success can be attributed to a profound insight into what her clients want. Combined with a century of similar values, St. Regis and Michael Saunders will create a groundbreaking legacy together on Longboat Key.

SRQ
Airport Soars
EXPANSION DRIVES ECONOMIC GROWTH
By Lisa Moody
Pull into the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, and with the ease of finding parking, getting through ticketing, passing TSA, and reaching your gate, you would never imagine that you are entering the fastest-growing airport in the nation.
There was always a masterplan for airport expansion but without a set timeline. Then, in 2020, something happened that no one could have foreseen: a world pandemic. COVID-19 put that plan on a fast track in an attempt to keep up with the influx of people scrambling to Florida, where they could work, play, and socially distance out-of-doors in the warmth of paradise. People were not only coming to Florida, they were staying, and this population boom is evident by the increased demand for housing, the entry of new businesses to the area, a surge in automobile traffic, and other growth indicators. While we’ve all witnessed this progression, the Sarasota-Bradenton Airport has felt its impact significantly and directly.
In 2022, when airport CEO Rick Piccolo presented his accelerated expansion plan to the board, his opening PowerPoint slide simply said, Time is our enemy The airport was experiencing an unexpected 200% growth increase—more than any other airport in the world—and to accommodate this surge and meet the growing demands, the airport had to respond nimbly, strategically, and quickly.
In March 2023, to meet the rising need, the board approved the $100 million expansion project with an ambitious 18-month completion date of January 2025. To give this some perspective Piccolo said, “In 2018, we were at about 1.3 million passengers, and we’ll do about 4.5 to 4.6 million this year, so the growth has just been phenomenal. Also, in 2018 there were six airlines at SRQ with 12 nonstop destinations. Today, there are eleven airlines with 55 nonstop destinations.”
THE FUTURE IS TODAY
The project is now estimated at $200 million, and the expansion is well underway with a new ground building terminal covered by the original $100 million, $50 million earmarked for baggage systems improvements, and the remaining $50 million for parking lots, a new ground transportation center, and the expansion of ramp areas.
And the airport is not borrowing a dime to do this.
Funded through grants, reserves, leased-space income, and airline fees, Piccolo is proud that SRQ airport is debt-free. “We’re an airport with no debt, which is unusual.
“We’re an airport with no debt, which is unusual. Not many airports have no debt and we’ve been able to maintain that since we retired the debt in 2014.”
There are not many airports that have no debt and we’ve been able to maintain that since we retired the debt in 2014.” This puts SRQ in an enviable and competitive position, making it attractive to airlines because zero debt translates to lower costs for facility use since airport revenue goes toward operations and not debt payoff and interest.
In addition, Piccolo wants people to understand that airport revenue is not tax-based, so the improvements are not costing taxpayers a thing. The only charge to the public is for services used and products purchased, such as airline tickets, parking fees, food, beverages, items bought at concession stands and shops, and so forth.
THE LOCAL IMPACT
We recognize that from 2020 there has been rampant growth in our region, and we can see that the airport has positioned itself to respond. But what does this mean to our community?
Consumers will have more choices across numerous levels. Currently, Allegiant Air accesses three gates. Allegiant will occupy all five gates in the new terminal. Allegiant is investing
in growing with SRQ by increasing their occupancy by 40%. That speaks volumes. With Allegiant moving out of the current terminal, it will open up the three existing gates to other airlines.
With additional airlines, there will be more destinations, better prices for tourists, residents, families, and businesses that want to visit or relocate here. We can expect to see more service announcements within the next few months. Giving residents and visitors more options will keep them closer to home. In the past, with fewer selections, passengers may have had to travel to surrounding airports to get a nonstop flight or to reach their desired destination.
When patrons use other airports, money moves out of our community. This impacts businesses inside and outside the airport, such as restaurants, hotels, and gas stations. According to the 2022 Florida Department of Transportation Aviation Economic Impact Study, SRQ airport has a $3.2 billion annual impact on the community and drives over 23,000 jobs in the area. The expansion will create even more, and there is a focus on including more local vendors. Among businesses
that are opening at the airport in the next year are The Shoppes at Siesta Key, Anna Maria Oyster Bar, Patrick’s 1481, Mattison’s, Motorworks Brewery, and Rise and Nye’s, known for providing safe and secure employment opportunities for people with exceptionalities. National brands such as Wahlburgers, Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, Jimmy John’s, and Huey Magoo’s will also have stores onsite. With more options at SRQ, Piccolo is hoping that people fly directly in and out of SRQ airport, keeping the money local and lifting our own economy.
Piccolo is proud of the airport’s reputation for convenience and cleanliness and is committed to maintaining its high level of standards throughout the construction phases. Already, SRQ has hired nine shuttle buses for remote concierge service to ensure there’s little to no wait for transportation to and from offsite parking sites. To meet the increase in traffic and activity in the terminal and gate areas, in-house nighttime janitorial services have been added for the deep cleaning that is necessary.
Sarasota Bradenton International Airport is currently served by two fixed based operators (FBOs): Dolphin Aviation, Inc. and Atlantic Aviation. FBOs provide essential services for aircraft, including fueling, hangars, and tie-downs. Additionally, they offer other aviation services such as aircraft sales, flight training, aircraft rental, maintenance, and private charters. A third FBO is committed to growing with SRQ. Sheltair is making a $40 million private investment to construct 60,000 SF facilities. This demonstrates Sheltair’s confidence that this area will continue to grow, and as it does, businesses requiring this level of connectivity and private aircraft owners will need these added general aviation services.
MORE TO COME
The economic benefit of this recent growth is already evident. As we’ve experienced the influx of people, we’ve seen residential development scaling to meet the increased need for housing, schools, medical care, and other services, including the airport expansion. But we’re not done yet… Piccolo advises us to “stay tuned over the next few months for announcements of a couple of other developments that will have tremendous economic impact and job creation in the community.”
