Ronto selected Robb & Stucky’s Susan J. Bleda ASID and Rachelle Porco to create the interior for the Seaglass 804 tower residence model, Renee Gaddis, NCIDQ, ASID, GREEN AP, president and principal designer of Renee Gaddis Interiors for tower residence 306, and Cinnabar Design’s Diana Hall, ASID and Laurie Walter, ASID for the tower residence 605 model. 

The 3,088-square-foot under air 804 tower residence floor plan includes three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, a den, an open great room, dining area, and island kitchen, terrace space totaling 485 square feet, and a private elevator foyer.

Bleda and Porco’s design exudes chic sophistication while providing welcome comfort and exceptional livability. Set against soft sandy bisque wall tones that run throughout the home and blend effortlessly with neutral fabrics and furnishings, their color palette includes light creams and whites. Frosted glass accents are layered with matte gold and silver metallics to evoke a sense of the sea and the wave-smoothed sea glass. Furnishings are clean-lined with fabrics that include the textural diversity of leather against cotton and linen.

In the living area, a 10-foot wide fireplace has been installed within a built-out section of wall adorned with glistening wallpaper. The fireplace surround is clean and contemporary. On either side of the fireplace, glass shelving with the look of sea glass are lighted from above to create bright display space that can be muted for atmospheric mood lighting. Two sofas arranged perpendicular to the fireplace are upholstered in bisque linen. Two easy chairs face the fireplace, while a 60-by-60-inch cocktail table makes a statement with its heavy glass top. To highlight the adjacent dining area, Bleda and Porco have designed a rectangular ceiling structure with recessed lighting and tiered layers for a distinctive look. 

The tower residence 306 floor plan offers 3,421 square feet under air and 525 square feet of covered terrace space. The end-unit great room plan includes three bedrooms plus a den or fourth bedroom, three-and-a-half baths, a large island kitchen and dining area, and a private elevator lobby. The design includes an optional fireplace and a dry bar with wine storage. Gaddis incorporated architectural details in the design, including ceiling and millwork details. The design showcases classic, timeless style with a contemporary edge. She incorporated a variety of wood tones, mixing light and dark for eclectic charm, and her color palette is based on cool matte blue grays. The flooring is a warm wood tone with coffered ceiling details throughout.  

The wall tones in the open-concept living areas are clean gray. A ceiling design in the dining area and kitchen incorporates a double-step detail with drywall plastered beams. The dining area between the kitchen and the great room features an elongated rectangular table that seats eight. The kitchen presents a fresh clean aura with light countertops, including the enormous island. The great room features another ceiling detail in a checkerboard style and multiple seating areas. A fireplace, clean-lined and clad in streamlined marble, provides the focus for the television viewing area. From the great room, pocketing sliders open to a wide terrace where the owners will enjoy the views and an al fresco Florida lifestyle. This generous space accommodates a grill zone with a large dining table and chairs for six people, as well as a conversation lounge area with an L-shaped sectional sofa.  

The tower residence 605 floor plan offers 2,889 square feet plus 464 square feet of covered outdoor terrace space. The open-concept plan features a private elevator lobby, and a gallery hallway that leads from the foyer to a living area with a great room, gourmet island kitchen, dining area, and a sitting area. The great room, dining area, and the owner’s suite open to a terrace with views of Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The plan includes two guest bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. The designers have chosen to transform one of the guest rooms into a study. The remaining guest suite opens to a terrace with a southeasterly view.

Hall and Walter have taken their inspiration from the name of the high-rise tower. With an urban color palette of tonal neutrals and the use of aqua and warm beige sea glass accents, the residence provides a luxurious framework for the views. The designers took a contemporary approach to create a sense of anticipation from the private elevator foyer, through the gallery hallway, and into a great room with west-facing views. The flooring is light Italian porcelain with a tracing of pale gray to create a seamless flow of sophisticated elegance.

The great room includes a textured soft beige fabric semi-circular sectional accented with sea glass toned pillows. A textured area rug and a Lucite and glass cocktail table anchors the space. The shape of the sofa allows 270-degree views of the surrounding area. Two rounded back swivel chairs are set with a small table by the west window to allow sunset viewing. The feature wall has been designed to include a custom wood built-in and will incorporate a low media console in driftwood beige and white lacquer finish placed below the wall-hung television.
