Boca Grande Showroom

#BocaGrande

Theory Design shares a satellite office with Seagate Development Group in downtown Boca Grande. The space captures a beach getaway environment as well as a loft-like atmosphere. The historic building features open truss wood ceilings with exposed mechanicals and has concrete floors that have been nicely worn over the years. With a scattering array of large paper lanterns, ocean-colored accents and warm wood tones, it creates a light-hearted and relaxed space for informal client meetings. The convenient and central location to the island’s historic district, beaches and the Gasparilla Inn is in proximity to panoramic views of Charlotte Harbor, Boca Grande Pass and the Gulf of Mexico.
