His new store of Chanel located on the busy shopping street PC Hooftstraat at Amsterdam and is a definite architectural achievement. The impressive thing about the project is that it stands among so many classic Dutch houses with a storefront made entirely of solid glass blocks.
More specifically, it is a creation by Dutch architects MVRDV. In fact, the building was created in such a way as to match the original historical structure and the translucent glass bricks make up half of the building. In order to create the impressive facade, the architectural firm had to create certain tools from scratch, such as a transparent UV-bonded glue. Even more curious were the manufacturing techniques that had to be used to create the invisible aesthetic, including the use of… whole milk as a layer between the glass blocks!
See the impressive details..
