Mosaicist, Inc. Unveils Largest Rooftop Glass Mosaic Mural in the U.S. at St. Regis Longboat Key Resort

Mosaicist, Inc., a leader in mosaic artistry, has completed the largest rooftop glass mosaic mural in the United States at the newly opened St. Regis Longboat Key Resort, which opened on August 14, 2024. The stunning installation features over 1.3 million hand-placed tiles and sets a new standard for luxury resort design.*

“This project is a testament to the fusion of traditional craftsmanship with modern artistic vision, creating a landmark that visitors will admire for years to come,” said Ray Corral, the renowned Hispanic-American artist behind the murals.

Nestled on an 18-acre barrier island in Sarasota, the St. Regis Longboat Key Resort exemplifies luxury and sophistication. Two major installations by Corral enhance the resort’s aesthetic: a 60-foot by 11-foot front mural made up of over 600,000 mosaic pieces and a sprawling 60-foot by 60-foot rooftop pool mosaic composed of 750,000 handmade tiles. The latter features Corral’s signature large-format handmade Smalti mosaic glass chunks, highlighted with 24kt gold inlays set within Jacaranda floral motifs.

Developer Chuck Whittall, President and CEO of Unicorp National Developments, collaborated closely with Corral to realize a design inspired by Florida’s west coast oceanic themes. Following a meticulous selection process from numerous digital concepts and mock-ups, the final design was chosen for its cohesive integration across the property.

Partnering with Italian company Litokol, a leader in construction products, Mosaicist, Inc. has raised the bar for outdoor and underwater mosaic applications, further establishing the resort as a unique regional attraction.

The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort boasts private beaches, cabana-equipped pools, and world-class amenities such as oceanfront spa vitality pools and acclaimed dining options, all complemented by the legendary St. Regis Butler Service.
