About The Water Club
The Water Club is a landmark gated community of luxury Gulf-front towers on Longboat Key, prized for expansive residences with floor-to-ceiling glass that opens directly onto the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. With whole walls of west-facing glass, these homes present the most demanding glare, UV, and scale challenges on the island — and the most rewarding views once they are solved.
Motorization is essential here: powered dual shades let you switch from a view-through solar layer by day to a blackout layer for sleep and privacy at night, all at the touch of a button across enormous spans of glass. As a Lutron Certified Dealer we integrate everything with the building’s smart systems and specify marine-grade components for the beachfront environment.

Window Considerations
Designing for The Water Club Homes
The light, views, and architecture here shape every recommendation we make. Here is what we plan for in The Water Club.
Extreme glare, heat & fade
Direct Gulf exposure is intense. Dual solar and blackout shades protect furnishings and manage heat while preserving the beach view.
High-rise association rules
Luxury towers require a uniform exterior appearance. We provide the compliant outward-facing color to meet building standards.
