Taipei

A profile of restaurateur and hotelier Wang Xiaofei, this series illustrates a relationship with the built environment, via a space where East and West, past and present meet – specifically in his Philippe Starck-designed S Hotel in Taipei. Juxtaposing interior and exterior shots enhances the (at times, whimsical) design details that underpin a soothing sanctuary in the buzzing Taiwanese capital.
