Today’s buyers want more than luxury finishes—they want outdoor spaces that feel private, personal, and fully integrated. The new trend in outdoor living has taken hold, especially in vibrant downtown Sarasota. Instead of basic balconies, homeowners now seek meaningful outdoor environments that extend their lifestyle.
The Gallery Sarasota: Redefining Outdoor Living in the City
The Gallery Sarasota embraces the new trend in outdoor living through its innovative Private Courtyard Collection. This exclusive residence offers six distinct floor plan collections and delivers true outdoor sanctuaries in the heart of downtown Sarasota. Designed by Halflants + Pichette and developed by Palm One Group, each home blends lush outdoor living with modern elegance.
“Reconnecting residents with nature by seamlessly extending the living experience outdoors is the foundation of this collection.” — Michael Halflants, Principal Architect, Halflants + Pichette
Why Outdoor Spaces Are More Important Than Ever
As urban density increases, so does the desire for private outdoor space. Buyers now expect more than a terrace—they want room to dine, unwind, and entertain. The Gallery delivers. These courtyards feature over 600 square feet of stylish, usable space. From raised garden beds to pergolas and pavers, everything supports comfort and privacy.
The Interior-Exterior Connection
The Gallery Sarasota exemplifies this innovative approach with expansive, private courtyards that bring nature, comfort, and functionality into the heart of the city. Each courtyard is thoughtfully designed with:
• 620 square feet of outdoor space
• Stylish 24×24 pavers, chosen for aesthetic appeal and moisture resistance
• Native Florida trees in raised garden beds surrounded by soft artificial grass
• Multiple lounging areas ideal for relaxing or entertaining
• Ample room for a large dining table and outdoor kitchen.
• Six-foot privacy walls enclosing the space with a separate exit for convenience
• Elegant pergolas offering architectural beauty, shade, and added seclusion
This elevated take on the urban backyard reflects a growing preference among luxury buyers for outdoor areas that are every bit as refined and well-appointed as the interior. More than ever, homeowners are dedicating greater time and higher budgets to design custom outdoor environments tailored to their lifestyles.
Personalize Every Inch
These courtyards can evolve with your lifestyle. Add lounge areas, fire pits, art walls, or even a hot tub. Some residents prefer outdoor kitchens, while others focus on tranquil gardens. The flexibility makes these spaces special. They support everything from morning coffee to nighttime celebrations.
