FROM CITY TO SHORE, THE FINE ART OF MIAMI LIVING

INTERIORS MOVING UP

With their sons off to college and more work commitments in Miami-Dade, Brett Sugerman and Giselle Loor Sugerman, the husband-and-wife team behind B+G Design, made the move from their Fort Lauderdale home to a condo in Miami’s Ten Museum Park. “It made sense for us to be in Miami,” says Brett. “Our business is gravitating here and all the action happens here. Plus, our strategic location grants us access to the city’s hot spots, including the Miami Design District, where we opened our new office.”

Their 1,802-square-foot abode takes a pared down approach, with a mix of sculptural furnishings in matte black, white, and neutral tones. “Scaling down from a single-family home requires expert space planning, which is our specialty,” says Giselle. “An apartment can live and feel as big as a traditional home. You must plan and prioritize every inch of real estate, but it is achievable.”

Apart from the shell of the staircase, they gutted the original apartment and remodeled every inch. They landed at a polished, contemporary vibe by incorporating textured fabrics, lustrous marble, Parisian-style moldings, and decorative accents that speak to their overall intent. The end result balances functional minimalism with their personal taste.

“Our favorite memories [from] creating this new space [were] getting to plan it together,” says Giselle. “We design as partners, but designing together for ourselves as husband and wife is even more rewarding.” (bandgdesign.com) –Jeanne De Lathouder
