The Siesta Key Condominium renovation reimagines a two-bedroom, two-bath corner unit on the fourteenth floor of the iconic Terrace Building, originally designed in 1969 by architect Frank Folsom Smith. Halflants + Pichette completed the project as an architect-led design build renovation for a repeat client, reshaping the interior to improve flow, light, and spatial quality. Every surface and junction was reconsidered to maximize functionality while introducing warmth and precision to the compact footprint.
A fifteen-foot-long concrete counter anchors the main living area. Poured in a single cast, the counter extends outward to form the dining table, merging cooking and dining into one unified element. A ribbed plywood wall folds across the room, concealing the media wall and tying the space together through tone and texture. The plywood, crafted from laminated bamboo, contrasts with the smooth concrete to create a balanced material composition that feels both modern and inviting.
