Interior of the Louis Vuitton Island Maison – Singapore

Boston based architect Moshe Safdie and New York-based designer Peter Marino, have come together to create a ‘Louis Vuitton Island Maison’. Located in Singapore, Southeast Asia the 25,000 square foot glass house appears to be coming right out of the water. The exterior, built and designed by Moshe Safdie, consists of two glass and steel crystal-shaped pavilions. The Maison is accessible by three ways: by a boat, a bridge or a tunnel. The inside of the nautical Maison, designed by Peter Marino, was thoughtfully created based on the store location. Inspired by the glamour of early 20th-century transatlantic travel, the new Louis Vuitton Island Maison is a nautical adventure. For more information on the store click here.
