Bringing Art to Life at The Boca Raton Tower Suites
The Boca Raton Tower Suites
Art has the transformative power to not only enhance a space but to create a deeper connection to its surroundings, telling a story that reflects its history and environment. This philosophy was central to a recent collaboration between Saatchi Art's Hospitality Art Advisory and The Boca Raton, where I was commissioned to create three bespoke artworks for the resort’s Tower Suite Collection.
A Landmark of Luxury
The Boca Raton, formerly known as the Boca Raton Resort & Club, has been an icon of elegance since 1926. As part of a sweeping reimagination, its 27-story tower has been transformed into the resort’s most exclusive accommodations, designed by the renowned Rockwell Group. The Tower Suite Collection blends contemporary coastal aesthetics with high-end amenities, including access to Top of the Tower, a private lounge with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and South Florida coastline.
The Vision
Saatchi Art’s Senior Art Advisor reached out with a commission for two custom artworks for the presidential suites. The request was clear: the pieces needed to complement the refined interiors, incorporating a color palette that tied into an existing chair within the suite.
Beyond aesthetics, there was also a technical challenge—since the artworks would be installed in a hospitality setting, the shells had to be affixed in a way that ensured durability and prevented tampering by guests.
The Creative Approach
To meet these requirements, I provided:
-
Two artwork samples, each demonstrating different shell attachment techniques—one using cement and another using epoxy resin and wire.
-
A selection of fabric backgrounds to find the perfect fit for the space.
After reviewing the options, the team selected the wire-secured technique, as it offered both a handcrafted aesthetic and the necessary durability. The designs resonated so well that the commission was expanded to include a third artwork, bringing the total to three.
Crafting the Final Pieces
Over an eight-week period, I meticulously created each piece, securing every shell individually using wire. Throughout the process, I remained in close contact with the team, sharing progress updates and images to ensure everything aligned with their vision.
Once complete, the artworks were shipped for custom framing and installed in the Tower Suite Collection’s Ocean View Penthouse and Ocean View Townhouse Suite. The placement of the third piece is yet to be confirmed.
We appreciate your talent and collaboration on the project! You're such a pleasure to work with. I am definitely looking forward to our next opportunity!
