Hong Kong-based interior designer André Fu, meanwhile, has capitalised on the tranquility of nature at his project, Hotel The Mitsui in Kyoto. "I worked with Kyoto landscape master Shunsaku Miyagi to create a Japanese garden that fosters calm through flowers, grasses, water and breezes… A water pool outside the hotel's tea lounge provides a visual reflection of the landscape beyond. I like to design immersive environments that feel present and emotionally connected to their surroundings through scents, floristry and music."
