Theory Design’s Vice President of Design Ruta Menaghlazi is creating the interior design for Seagate Development Group’s furnished Bal Harbour model now under construction at Hill Tide Estates, a 9.98-acre gated enclave on the southern tip of Boca Grande being developed by Seagate. The Bal Harbour is one of three models available for purchase at Hill Tide Estates.  Seagate’s completed Captiva model is open for viewing and also features an interior design by Ruta Menaghlazi.  Theory Design was named recipient of a 2019 Aurora Award for the Captiva’s interior in the Best Interior Design of a Home Priced over $2 million category.  Seagate was presented an Aurora Award for the Captiva in the Best Single-Family Detached Home Over 4,000 Square Feet category.  In addition to the Bal Harbour and the Captiva, BCB Homes’ Beacon model is in development.

Designed by RG Designs, the three-level Bal Harbour floor plan includes 5,198 square feet under air on the two living levels.  The plan’s ground level entry and a front porch are flanked by two oversized garages.  In addition to the garage areas, the ground level includes massive storage spaces that are perfect for storing beach, fishing, and boating gear.  A ground level foyer provides access to an elevator and a staircase that lead to the living levels.  The first living level will showcase a spacious great room, an island kitchen, dining area, study, and a second master suite.  The entire living area, including the study and second master suite, open to a deck with a pool and spa, and to an outdoor living area with conversation and dining areas, an outdoor kitchen, and a pool bath.  The second living level features a bonus room with a wet bar, the master suite, and two VIP guest suites.  The bonus room, master suite, and one of the VIP guest suites open to a comfortably sized deck that will offer an ideal place to enjoy sunsets over the Gulf.  The deck overlooks the pool and outdoor living area.

The second living level will continue the design’s emphasis on creating a relaxed ambiance and will feature a wet bar in the spacious bonus room as well as a morning bar.  The master suite will include two large walk-in closets and a bath with separate vanities, a free-standing tub, and a walk-in shower.

Seagate’s completed Captiva model includes 4,865 square feet under air and 11,184 square feet under roof.  The ground level features two garages and a lower foyer.  The first living level includes a great room, island kitchen, and dining area that open to the lanai, a study, and the master suite.  The master bath features separate vanities, a free-standing tub, and a walk-in shower.  A staircase leads to the second level that presents three guest ensuites and a bonus room with a wet bar.  In addition to a pool and spa, the outdoor living area includes a pool bath, outdoor kitchen, and an outdoor dining area.  Ruta’s design for the Captiva’s interior conveys a coastal feeling.  Beige walls, blue and turquoise accents, and light oak flooring provide a connection to the community’s beachfront setting.

The Captiva’s lower foyer presents an open ceiling soaring to the top of the second living level.  A staircase leads to the great room where sliders open to the pool deck and outdoor living area.  The great room ceiling features beam details with tongue and groove trim.  The feature wall showcases a media console and a television flanked by art selections.  Furnishings include a sectional sofa, a console in white and medium wood tones, a cocktail table, a wicker end table, and wicker side chairs with light fabric.

A dining table with rattan chairs seats eight in the dining area.  A door opens to the outdoor living area and pool deck.  The outdoor kitchen features a gas grill, undercounter refrigerator, Nature Kast cabinetry, and granite countertops.  A gas fireplace with a floor to ceiling stone wall is adjacent to the grill.  A sectional sofa provides seating at the fireplace.  A dining table features a greyish finish to match dining chairs with cream cushions.  The pool deck is finished with tan porcelain tile.

In the study, double doors open to a covered deck.  The space features an angled tongue and groove ceiling with a white finish.  Furnishings include a white hickory desk, a console table, a sofa and side table, side chairs, and artwork.

The master bedroom is finished in beige and white.  The bed features a beige upholstered headboard with flanking tan nightstands.  A morning bar with a grey base cabinet, a quartzite countertop, and a SubZero undercounter refrigerator is in a hallway leading to the master bath that features stone flooring and grey-toned cabinetry with quartzite counters.
