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.
