About Bird Key
Bird Key is one of Sarasota’s most coveted waterfront addresses, an exclusive island community between downtown and St. Armands Circle where nearly every home enjoys bay, canal, or Gulf-access water views. The architecture spans mid-century modern to contemporary coastal, but the common thread is glass — walls of it, oriented to the water. Our work protects those priceless views while managing the intense, reflective coastal light.
For Bird Key homeowners, preserving the view is everything. We specify solar and sheer shades that cut glare and UV without erasing the water, layered with drapery for warmth and privacy after dark. Salt-air-friendly materials and corrosion-resistant hardware keep everything looking pristine in the waterfront environment.

Designing for Bird Key Homes
The light, views, and architecture here shape every recommendation we make. Here is what we plan for in Bird Key.
UV & fade protection
Intense coastal sun fades furnishings fast. Solar and honeycomb shades block UV to protect floors, art, and upholstery.
Salt-air durability
We specify corrosion-resistant components and easy-clean materials suited to life on the water.
