Palais De Chine Hotel

Taipei, Taiwan

​

Due to the structure of the hotel and the limited available area, we strove to reduce the separation of spaces in guest rooms as much as possible, and the rooms are also fitted with custom-made, circular, cast-iron bathtubs. Sliding doors and panels create a general sense of openness, and are aimed at creating maximum effective use of space during the majority of the time the rooms are in use, while also molding usage models to the distinctive character of the site. The facilities and storage areas within the guest rooms are designed to meet the majority of expected usage demands, while every detail of the rooms aims to reflect the market value, efficiency of usage, and image and market placement of the hotel. The furniture design attempts to reflect a fusion of French and Chinese vocabularies, with a balance of forms, materials, and colors.
