The project

Louis Vuitton’s selection of the North Crystal pavilion at Marina Bay Sands provided a unique site for the delivery of the brand’s first flagship store in Singapore. Accessible via a underground link tunnel from the main shopping mall complex, the luxury boutique on water consists of five floors from B2 to L3 and provides a dramatic visitor experience.

The Louis Vuitton store project team and design team were all based remotely from the site which required a local main contractor to take full responsibility for the delivery and implementation of the project in line with Louis Vuitton’s specialist vendors and suppliers.

The scope of works for the project included all MEP infrastructure, fit out of the front of house and back of house areas - including millworks, specialist sunshades and lighting - AV, security and all external signage.

A key challenge for the delivery team was to respond quickly to the frequent changes of a luxury retail brand seeking to reaffirm its position as the world’s leading luxury retailer.

The works were completed within the prescribed programme, and within the client’s budget parameters, demonstrating the flexibility of the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´vlog operation to react quickly to client requirements in a competitive and efficient manner.
