Maison Cartier, Beijing

For this direct order in col­la­bo­ra­tion with Les Ateliers Jean Nouvel, the Maison Cartier is dra­ped in red. On one of the most pres­ti­gious and luxu­rious ave­nues of Beijing, it bor­rows the pre­cious­ness of the wood and the sym­bo­lism of the roof with tra­di­tio­nal Chinese archi­tec­ture. The pri­vacy of the house is scrip­ted by a suc­ces­sion of per­fo­ra­ted panels which allows one to dis­co­ver an inter­ior gar­den bathed in natu­ral light in the heart of the buil­ding. At the ser­vice of the jewel­lery, the light is control­led, scree­ned and hid­den by per­fo­ra­ted panels which control the contri­bu­tion in light and also pro­tect the offices from the sun.
