Translating an American icon

Building on the success of Cadillac House New York, the luxury automaker partnered with Gensler to design a brand experience in Shanghai introducing Chinese consumers to Cadillac’s storied legacy.

Challenge

Cadillac tasked Gensler with developing a project program through the lens of a Chinese audience discovering the brand, with an immersive visitor experience specially geared toward China’s emerging creative class.

Purpose

Multi-sensory experiences convey the feel of the brand and its products, expressing the past, present, and future of “the world within Cadillac.”

Experience

As visitors ascend the three-story building, the level of engagement with the brand deepens, with cultural experiences, digital and tactile exhibits, interactive touchpoints, and personalized moments that create a holistic brand journey.
