The Art Ovation Hotel
The Art Ovation Hotel serves as a connector between cultural institutions, restaurants, and locally-owned shops. The challenge for the design of this boutique hotel was to create a space that would appeal to local residents and travelers in search of an authentic Sarasota experience while also enhancing a vibrant public streetscape.

Rosemary Square
The vision for Rosemary Square was to create a “living room” for the neighborhood which had become rundown over recent decades and without any form of public park. Situated along Boulevard of the Arts, there were no existing cultural destinations positioned on the arts-named corridor. The vision of architect Jonathan Parks, AIA, was to re-energize the community by bringing arts to Boulevard of the Arts. Learn more about Rosemary Square.

Sarasota Municipal Auditorium Renovation
SOLSTICE was hired by the City of Sarasota to renovate and restore the Municipal Auditorium, a 1938 Art Deco-style community center on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places originally designed by Thomas Reed Martin and Clarence A. Martin. With a $500,000 historical preservation grant from the State of Florida, Jonathan Parks AIA was hired in 2017 to update and restore the structure while also making it ADA-compliant.
