Completed in 2003, One Omotesando is a mixed-use building in Tokyo designed by Kengo Kuma & Associates as the headquarters of Louis Vuitton Japan Group. Located at the intersection of Omotesando and Aoyama-dori, the building contains offices, retail and residential spaces.

The glass curtain wall is screened by 45-centimetre-deep mullions of laminated larch, their vertical rhythm responding to the zelkova trees lining Omotesando and the timber architecture of nearby Meiji Shrine. The wooden elements also shade the interior from direct sunlight. As building regulations restricted the use of timber on exterior walls in large urban areas, an exterior drencher system was incorporated to obtain special permission for the façade.

2003年に完成した「One 表参道」は、ルイ・ヴィトン・ジャパン・グループの本社として隈研吾建築都市設計事務所が設計した、東京の複合施設です。表参道と青山通りの交差点に位置し、オフィス、店舗、住宅によって構成されています。

ガラスのカーテンウォールは、奥行き45センチのカラマツ集成材によるマリオンで覆われ、その垂直方向のリズムが表参道のケヤキ並木や、近接する明治神宮の木造建築と呼応するように計画されています。木製のマリオンは室内への直射日光を遮る役割も担っています。当時の建築基準法では大都市の建築物の外壁に木材を使用することが制限されていたため、外壁にドレンチャー設備を設けることで、木製ファサードの特別な許可を得ています。
