Brickell Business: A Brazilian Beacon of Miami's Grandeur

Porto Belo's New Commercial Edifice Echoes Miami's Brickell

Brickell Business is not just a structure; it is an embodiment of cross-continental inspiration. Daniel de Amorim, along with his team, has meticulously crafted a commercial space that captures the essence of Miami's Brickell district, known for its modernity and dynamism. The design's linear volumes and strategic lighting are reminiscent of the Miami skyline at dusk, creating an architectural dialogue between the two cities.

The design's unique properties lie in its harmonious blend of urbanism and nature. The building's silhouette, characterized by clean lines and reflective glass, is softened by the integration of lush vegetation. This juxtaposition mirrors the Brickell district's own balance of concrete and greenery, offering a serene yet grand environment for businesses and visitors alike.

Brickell Business is realized through a combination of reinforced concrete, metal, glass, and LED lighting, all complemented by green spaces. The technical specifications are impressive: a 20-story structure spanning over 10,000 square meters, featuring 48 commercial units and innovative amenities such as a rotating garage and a rooftop space designed for relaxation and social interaction.

The project's interaction with its users is central to its design philosophy. Every aspect, from the gym to the rooftop, is aimed at enhancing the work experience, promoting well-being, and providing a sense of tranquility. The ample natural lighting and common areas are designed to alleviate stress and foster a pleasurable work environment.

Brickell Business is a project born from a client's vision, a trip to Florida, and the desire to replicate the sensations of Miami's streets in Porto Belo. The research and development phase spanned several months, culminating in a design that overcame the challenge of distilling the essence of a vibrant neighborhood into a single architectural statement of minimalism and magnificence.

The project's recognition as a Bronze winner in the A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award in 2024 underscores its excellence. Brickell Business is a design that not only stands out for its aesthetic appeal but also for its contribution to enhancing the quality of life and setting a benchmark for commercial architecture in Brazil.
