Vibrant energy and natural vitality
Seasons by Oliviere is the newly renovated restaurant at W Taipei, where every detail is crafted to celebrate the essence of fresh produce and culinary passion. G.A were invited back 12 years after the original completion of the hotel to renew the dining experience and guestrooms (due to be completed 2024).
Drawing inspiration from the lively ambiance of a bustling marketplace, our design invites guests on a sensory journey, infusing the space with vibrant energy and natural vitality. Each station is uniquely designed, reflecting its own character while evoking the rustic charm of a farmers' market with natural wood accents and adaptable pulley systems, also adding flexibility to the space.
A symphony of textures and tones
As guests explore the space, they encounter a symphony of textures and tones. Dark canvas' behind the cooking stations serve as a stage accentuating the culinary magic and passion of the chefs, framed by copper hoods, adding elegance and depth to the space.
With delicate layers and screens, natural light filters through to the restaurant, casting a golden glow throughout the day. As evening falls, gentle illumination of rush weaving from above, along with the soft glow of wall pendants and table lights, orchestrates a seamless transition from the vibrancy of the day to the allure of night.
Immersive and culinary journey
Guests are welcomed into a herbal garden, setting the tone for the immersive, culinary journey ahead. A cold pantry is on display for guests to explore, showcasing the fresh produce that graces the menus. As they journey further through the energetic & dynamic kitchen, the dining space unfolds.
Unique focal points
The main dining area is thoughtfully divided into three distinct zones, each with its own unique focal point. One boasts a terrace overlooking the pool with foliage throughout, another showcases a commissioned artwork while the final space offers breath-taking views over Taipei.
Angled mirrors have been thoughtfully integrated into the design to extend views, ensuring every seat is desirable and every guest feels embraced by the captivating surroundings.
Specially commisioned artwork
The specially commissioned artwork is by Taiwanese artist 'Yu-Hsuan Wang'. With meticulous attention to detail, Wang's creation intricately weaves together the narrative of our chefs' passion alongside hidden produce elements. This captivating piece embodies the ambiance of the restaurant.
