Undertaking the design of boutique and office project for
Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH)
in Osaka, Japan, Kengo
Kuma used the exterior wall as a starting point for exploration.
Given what he calls the "dichotomic technique of wall
(opaque) versus window (transparent)," he opted to blur
these distinctions by wrapping the office floors in a continuous
skin of stone that from the exterior appears opaque during
the day but much different at night.
