Case Study: Crystal Houses, Amsterdam

Six years young and still going strong. Crystal Houses is the flagship store to Hermes, formerly Chanel, combining Dutch heritage with international architecture on PC Hooftstraat, Amsterdam’s luxury brand street. But it’s more than just a flagship store. It was a ground-breaking project, a world-first, based on months of research and testing, to create a unique, solid cast glass brick façade that’s completely transparent, right down to the mortar.
