Maison Louis Vuitton Miami

Ductal's ability to meet the architect's design requirements included the need for a highly customized, high quality exterior façade that is light weight, thin and durable - with resistance to hurricane force winds. At "Maison Aventura", one the largest Louis Vuitton stores in North America, art and culture is combined to create a memorable shopping experience.

The panels, averaging 2 m x 1.7 m, were assembled onsite to achieve a full height of 12 m. The building has no orthogonal grid and the star-shaped precast UHPC flowers were added afterwards. In addition to the 18,000 sq. ft. store's impressive façade, its interior, another successful collaboration with the architect Peter Marino, features a grand staircase with handrails wrapped in leather as well as artworks by Cuban-born artist Jorge Pardo and others.
