What fei and cheng assoc does

Fei & Cheng Associates (宗邁建築師事務所) is a Taipei-headquartered architectural design practice founded in 1974 by Fei Zongcheng (費宗澄) and Chen Mai (陳邁). The firm delivers full architectural services — from concept and schematic design through construction administration — across healthcare, sports, transportation, high-tech industrial, commercial, and residential building types. It has completed more than 50 documented major projects, including NTU Hospital, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, Shuang Ho Hospital, Taoyuan International Airport Terminal 3 (in JV with Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners and Ove Arup), Taipei Pop Music Center, and CTBC Financial Park.

The firm operates a partnership-led business model in which principals collaborate directly with global design firms on complex commissions. Strategic joint ventures with Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, Ove Arup, Toyo Ito, NBBJ, Reiser + Umemoto, and The Jerde Partnership underpin landmark project wins, particularly in public-sector competitions where local credentials and international design firepower are both prerequisites.

Revenue is generated through project-based design fees tied to construction value and scope, with the firm compensated primarily as lead architect or JV partner on institutional, government, and private commercial commissions. The firm maintains operations in Taiwan and Kunshan, China. It is privately held with no public financial disclosures, and its recognition includes national Taiwan awards and American Institute of Architects (AIA) honors.
