The award-winning interior design studio B+G Design Inc., founded in Miami by Brett Sugerman and Giselle Loor Sugerman, was invited to join the CASACOR Miami Windows project. Held in a 100% digital format, the exhibition features 5 projects who seek to reflect on the future of living and also what the post-pandemic home will be like

To create the Healing Oasis , the pair of professionals were inspired by Biophilia - from the Greek bios, life, and philia, love. The concept created by the North American Edward Wilson in the 80s, defends the connection not only emotional but also genetic of human beings with nature.
"We imagined a house that would promote healing through Biophilia, creating a feeling of zen, reflection and possibilities. The idea was to blend the interior with the exterior to directly promote the architect's connection with nature," reveals Giselle Sugerman.

A completely reinvented residential environment, composed of four 20-foot shipping containers, two of which were cut lengthwise and attached to the sides of the external structures. Neutral tones and earthy colors were used in the covered entrance patio, living rooms and terrace to bring a feeling of peace throughout the space.

"There is a continuous fluidity between the brown tones, the black steel elements and frames and the stone cladding, complemented by the lighting and functional furniture, carefully curated to interact with the environment, as in an art exhibition" concludes Brett Sugerman. The clerestory, which is flush with the ceiling, increases the ceiling height and provides views of the stunning landscape and clear Miami sky. A highlight is the water mirror that surrounds the façade and blends in with the sea.
