About the 4WALLS Awards
The 4WALLS Building of the Year Design Competition celebrates the region’s most impressive multi-unit and multi-story projects.

What Sets The Amara Apart
Conceived as a high-end condominium in Sarasota, The Amara elevates everyday living while honoring the city’s mid-century-modern heritage. The project stood out for its:
- Clean lines, expansive glass, and natural materials that blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors
- Layered, curved form inspired by ocean waves
- Strategic massing and deep cantilevered balconies that maximize water views while preserving privacy
- Façade engineering built to withstand coastal weather without sacrificing elegance
- Wellness-forward features such as private terraces, natural ventilation, smart-home systems, and energy-efficient infrastructure
With private elevator access, select residences featuring private pools, and a refined amenity program, The Amara embodies MHK’s mission to design spaces that are timeless, functional, and deeply connected to their surroundings.
