Designboom Feature｜The Wandering Walls
Founded in 1999 in Milan, Italy, Designboom is recognized as the world’s first online magazine dedicated to international industrial design, architecture, and art. With its curated perspective, it has long been a trusted platform for reporting on global design exhibitions, architectural projects, as well as studio visits and interviews with leading designers and architects.
In March 2022, Designboom published a feature titled “Curvaceous concrete walls carve out a remote retreat in Taiwan”, highlighting The Wandering Walls. The article focused on the project’s site conditions, design concept, and the complex process of building its sweeping concrete walls, underscoring how the retreat overcame environmental challenges while embracing its natural surroundings.
Design Highlights:
- Site Conditions: Located on the western plateau of Hengchun, the project faced strong seasonal winds, sea salt, and remote terrain—demanding resilience and sustainability.
- Design Concept: The retreat is defined by free-flowing curved concrete walls that function simultaneously as structural elements and spatial guides.
- Construction Challenges: Building thick in-situ walls under harsh weather conditions demonstrated both craftsmanship and the design team’s commitment.
For The Wandering Walls, being featured on Designboom represents not only recognition by an international design authority but also an opportunity to share the story of Nature × Architecture × Life with a global audience.
