Bloommiami partnered with Givenchy Beauty to develop the brand’s first make-up pop-up in travel retail last month. The retail-focused design agency produced, implemented and managed the activation located inside the DFS store at the Tom Bradley International Terminal in Los Angeles International Airport. Bloommiami incorporated mirrored and reflective black surfaces into the design to enlarge the space and elevate the appearance of the activation’s structural elements. This is the first collaboration between Bloommiami and the Parisian beauty house.

The 70 square foot pop-up activation greeted travelers at LAX during the month of August.

The pop-up highlighted the launch of Givenchy’s latest lipstick, Le Rouge Liquide. Instead of the traditional stick, the lipstick features a foam applicator, a different formula, and a pen-style mechanism in the signature Givenchy case.

More than 30 shades from many of Givenchy’s lipstick lines were featured in the activation.

“Givenchy Beauty is not currently present in Los Angeles International Airport so this one-month pop-up activation was the perfect opportunity to celebrate our brand’s unique and innovative products,” said Givenchy Senior Marketing Manager, Travel Retail Americas Daniella Caballero.

CORE Design + Build Brings Luxury Modern Architecture to the Mid-Atlantic

Miami-based architecture firm, Choeff Levy Fischman, is taking its talents to the Mid-Atlantic with the collaboration of a new partnership with Maryland-based builder, Aaron Feivelson. The new venture, known as CORE Design + Build combines Choeff Levy Fischman’s award-winning, tailored environmental designs with Feivelson’s premier experiential home building services.

If Greater Baltimore is going to attract big money talent, the region needs to deliver on the kind of lifestyle many of those individuals look for.

For Aaron Feivelson, that lifestyle begins quite literally at home.

Feivelson has launched a new company in partnership with a Miami architecture firm to bring a new, modern style of high-end home design to the mid-Atlantic.

While the Baltimore area does have its share of luxury mansions and homes, they are overwhelmingly in the traditional style, Feivelson said. And there aren’t many examples of good modern design in the area, he said.

The firm, CORE Design + Build, specializes in an architectural style known as environmental modern, a sleek look focused on natural materials, sharp lines and open spaces. This type of home is made for a more forward-thinking client, one that is looking not only for a place to live, but a place that also serves as a work of art.

CORE is a collaboration between Feivelson, who is also president of homebuilding firm Sunfire Homes in Stevenson, and Ralph Choeff, founding principal of Choeff Levy Fischman Architecture + Design in Miami. The idea for environmental modern stems from the tropical modern style, which Choeff is well-known for.

How Living Green Walls Improve a Space

Living green walls, vertical gardens and biophilic designs offer all the benefits of nature inside a space that not only functions as living art but also improves our well-being.

Architecture and design firm Stantec recently completed the interior design of Wix’s new office and technical center located in Miami Beach. The 24,000 square foot office features a living wall made of green moss that displays the Wix logo while enhancing workers’ lives through a connection with nature. The indoor green wall increases the oxygen level throughout the office, reduces stress and enhances creativity and clarity of thought.

A tropical modern home, designed by Choeff Levy Fischman Architecture + Design, blurs the line between interior and exterior. The house, located on Allison Island, opens out onto an atrium with two 24-foot living walls. The living walls not only bring life to the modern architecture, but they also improve the house’s thermal insulation by adding a protective layer of plants.

Patrick Blanc, a French botanist and scientist, created the living wall at Juvia restaurant in South Beach, as well as the gardens at the Pérez Art Museum. Juvia’s wall not only regulates the rate of humidity outdoors, but it also cools the air. As the human footprint expands, these qualities are important. Unlike a green wall, which faces in one direction, Blanc used different types of plants on the hanging columns to create the vertical garden at Pérez Art Museum. The vertical garden restores the habitats of countless species while providing a space-efficient way of incorporating greenery into a building’s exterior design.
