At Downing Designs, we believe Florida homes deserve “living” surfaces that interact with light, can endure the climate outdoors, and express individuality.
Surfaces Should Do More Than Cover Space.
They should define it. At Downing Designs, we did not start out to create just countertops.
We create architectural statements — glass surfaces that interact with light, reflect intention, and anchor a space with artistry and permanence.
In a world of mass-produced materials and repeating patterns, we believe your home — or your commercial environment — deserves something distinctly yours. Hand made. Graceful flowing arcs and swirls.
We Believe Light Is a Design Material.
In Florida, light is everything.
It dances atop the water.
It pours through glass walls.
It shifts tone throughout the day….and then is gone.
We design glass surfaces that respond to that light. And when its gone, our LEDs illuminate the space to create a custom ambiance.
Our textures, depth, and dimensional finishes are crafted to enhance the atmosphere of a space, not merely occupy it.
Stone surfaces absorbs light.
Glass countertops refract and collaborate with it.
We Believe Craftsmanship Is a Responsibility.
Luxury is not big price tag.
Luxury is:
- Custom collaboration
- Precision fabrication
- Design intelligence
- Material integrity
- Scarcity by design
Every project is built by hand.
Every surface is fabricated with intent.
Every installation reflects decades of experience.
We do not replicate catalog pieces.
We create one-of-one architectural elements.
We Believe Design Should Outlast Trends.
Trends fade.
Statements endure.
A custom glass countertop, bar top, or architectural feature should feel as relevant in twenty years as it does the day it is installed.
We build for permanence — structurally, visually, and emotionally.
We Serve Those Who Refuse Ordinary.
Our clients are:
- Waterfront estate homeowners
- Visionary architects
- Interior designers who demand distinction
- Hospitality leaders building experiential environments
They are not looking for “another option.”
They are looking for the right one.
If you have walked through beautifully built homes and still felt something was missing —
We design for that moment.
This Is Not Just Fabrication.
This is collaboration.
This is artistry.
This is material innovation.
