nautical aesthetic for which LVMH has become known.

The selected location presented a number of design challenges, the chief of which wascontrol of an over abundance of tropical sun. The “Crystal Pavilion” is an asymmetric steel­framed glass building with irregularly angled facades. This combined with it’s location, onedegree north of the equator, the structure receives sun from all sides. To solve thisproblem, FTL Design Engineering Studio was brought on. The result is a solar shadingconcept of continuous linear white bands that provide the desired shading, UV protectionfor the handbags and serves as the backdrop on which for the interior build­out. Theshading system covers all interior wall and ceiling elements and calls to mind the sails andmasts of a sailboat. Though not strictly nautical, the atmosphere is Marino and LV all theway.
