Business Details
We founded SOLSTICE Planning & Architecture in 2002 as a Sarasota-based studio for talented problem-solvers dedicated to advancing the principles of building design. Our work is rooted in regionalism, cultural history, function, structure, and natural light, aiming to create environments that inspire and endure. Led by Jonathan Parks, FAIA, we specialize in sustainable design, planning, historic preservation, and modern Florida architecture that reflects community character. Over the past two decades, our firm has earned over 125 awards, including honors from the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the American Institute of Architects. We are committed to connecting people with place through thoughtful architecture, urban design, and interior environments.
Our approach ensures every project, whether a waterfront residence or civic building, elevates daily life and respects its cultural context. With a focus on sustainability, we have completed multiple LEED Platinum-certified buildings, accounting for over 25% of such projects in the Sarasota region. Recognized nationally for our expertise in modern preservation, we restore landmarks like those designed by Paul Rudolph, ensuring they remain relevant for future generations. Our team, guided by Jonathans leadership, continues to shape the built environment with a deep respect for the past and a vision for a sustainable future. We pride ourselves on creating resilient, carbon-free designs that advance the principles of climate, culture, and community.
