Nestled in the heart of Boca Raton, Broken Sound Club has long been a hallmark of elevated living—where luxury, leisure, and landscape blend seamlessly. When the time came to upgrade their central outdoor pavilion, the goal wasn’t just to provide shade. It was to reimagine how the space could function. To create a gathering point as thoughtfully designed as the community it serves. That’s where SYZYGY Global came in.
With a vision to transform the CIRQ Grille and Bar Restaurant into a centerpiece for relaxation, events, and daily use, Broken Sound partnered with SYZYGY Global to deliver a structure that was both beautifully integrated and built to perform. The result: a custom-engineered R-Blade pergola system that now anchors the space with style, strength, and all-weather versatility.
Before the install, the CIRQ’s central eating area had ample potential—but limited comfort. With no permanent shade, the area remained underutilized during Florida’s intense sun or unpredictable rain. The Broken Sound team wanted to create a multifunctional environment: a place where residents could dine, relax, gather, and linger—morning to evening, season to season.
But this wasn’t just about functionality. The new structure had to match the elegance and exclusivity of the Broken Sound lifestyle. Which meant it needed to be modern, architectural, and seamlessly integrated into the community’s design language.
For this project, SYZYGY Global specified the R-Blade system—our premier motorized louvered pergola, designed to adapt to changing weather and amplify outdoor comfort.
The final structure includes:
Every detail was customized—from the footprint of each frame to the precise louver alignment—to ensure a cohesive experience across the entire area.
SYZYGY Global’s design and install teams worked closely with Broken Sound leadership, tailoring every aspect of the build to meet site-specific needs. Each pergola was site-specifically engineered to withstand South Florida’s demanding climate—including Category 5 hurricane ratings—while maintaining the visual lightness and clean architectural lines SYZYGY is known for.
It wasn’t just about coverage—it was about comfort, scale, and balance. From integrated gutters that channel rain discreetly to dual-walled gapless louvers that insulate and block heat, every component was selected with intent.
And while technology played a key role (including remote and app control functionality), so did subtlety. With no visible hardware and finishes curated to match surrounding architecture, the pergolas feel like a natural extension of the space—designed not to draw attention, but to enhance the environment.
Broken Sound residents now enjoy a shaded oasis perfect for morning coffee, outdoor yoga, happy hour cocktails, or community-wide events. The smart sensors automatically adjust the louvers in response to weather, ensuring residents remain comfortable and dry, even when rain rolls in unexpectedly.
The project turned the CIRQ into an all-weather destination. On bright sunny days, the gapless louvers tilt open to welcome filtered light and breezes. On stormy afternoons, they close with a watertight seal—creating a sheltered space where life can continue uninterrupted.
Since completion, the CIRQ pergola installation has elevated more than just aesthetics—it’s transformed how the community engages with the space. And for SYZYGY Global, it’s another example of how form and function—when approached with intention—can truly redefine what outdoor living looks like.
“This project was a perfect blend of design-forward thinking and technical precision,” said Julie Hawbaker, Chief of Design at SYZYGY Global. “Broken Sound had a clear vision, and our team worked to bring that to life—ensuring the end result was as elegant as it was durable.”
For residential communities and country clubs, a shade structure is more than a convenience—it’s a brand statement. It reflects the lifestyle, the level of care, and the standard of excellence expected by residents and guests. R-Blade meets that need with:
And perhaps most importantly, it does so without compromise. Every SYZYGY Global system is custom-built, turn-key installed, and supported by a team that understands the high expectations of high-end clients.
For Broken Sound Club, the CIRQ pergola installation is more than a completed project—it’s a long-term enhancement to community life. And for SYZYGY Global, it’s another opportunity to prove that the right structure—designed with intention, built with precision—can redefine how we gather, connect, and enjoy the outdoors.
When luxury, technology, and lifestyle align, the result is more than shade. It’s a SYZYGY.
