Is fresh air the new luxury in downtown condos? Perhaps. But what is luxury? Luxury is often defined by exceptional quality, comfort, and above all, exclusivity. Ultimately, the definition of “luxury” is in the eye of the beholder. To some, luxury is a building with architectural significance and quality finishes. To others, it’s a prime location. And some define their #1 luxury by an extravagant outdoor lifestyle in the middle of downtown without ever leaving home.
While outdoor spaces were hardly an afterthought, there’s no denying the pandemic significantly impacted our lifestyle and how we want to live in our homes, both inside and out. Private outdoor spaces are seen as extensions of our living spaces, where the inside fluidly transitions to the outside. Today, the desire for outdoor space has intensified and evolved. THE NEW TREND IN OUTDOOR LIVING is to bring the traditional single-family home backyard into an urban setting – a space that isn’t just like a backyard, it is a backyard!
In response to this demand, architects and developers are adding more outdoor space to their condo and apartment projects but given the high cost of land in most highly coveted real estate markets like downtown Sarasota, this is not easily achieved.
Led by Palm One Associates and Halflants + Pichette, the vision for The Gallery Sarasota was to reshape the urban landscape with world-class modern architecture and unparalleled sustainability. Composed of FIVE COLLECTIONS of floor plans that you won’t find anywhere else, The Gallery’s PRIVATE COURTYARD COLLECTION is the foundation of that vision.
“Reconnecting residents with nature through seamlessly expanding the living area into the outdoors with dynamic backyards is the basis for this collection.”
– Michael Halflants
BACKYARD FEATURES
– Over 600 square feet of private yard.
– Composite decking for its aesthetic appeal, moisture resistance, and durability.
– A native Florida tree in a raised gardening bed surrounded by artificial grass.
– Multiple lounging areas to enjoy the outdoors comfortably.
– Ample room for a large dining table and summer kitchen.
– Six-foot walls wrap the space with a separate exit for convenience.
– Pergola is the perfect architectural accessory, offering additional privacy and shade.
Not surprising, this new urban-backyard trend is on a whole new level. Buyers want the same level of quality and attention to detail as their indoor living space and are allocating more time with higher budgets to ensure their perfect outdoor lifestyle. At The Gallery Sarasota, your backyard can be anything you dream it to be. Here are a few suggestions on how to…
MAKE YOUR BACKYARD THE ENVY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD
– Cozy seating area with a TV and firepit is a must!
– Artwork and rugs will bring more personality and comfort to the space.
– Dinner for two or with friends under the stars at your outdoor dining table.
– Spectacular summer kitchen with beverage area.
– Soak, relax & repeat with your very own hot tub.
– Adjust your privacy settings by adding flowering vines to your pergola or tall lush potted plants.
