The Wandering Walls Featured in Italian Architecture & Design Magazine IQD
Established in 2005 and headquartered in Milan—the global capital of fashion and design—IQD is a leading European media platform dedicated to reporting on groundbreaking and inspiring architecture, interior design, sustainable spaces, and innovative design concepts. This feature spotlights The Wandering Walls, a curved fair-faced concrete structure designed by Grace Cheung, exploring how it responds to Hengchun’s unique terrain and seasonal downslope winds to create an architectural dialogue with nature.
The article focuses on the inn’s three sweeping curved walls—not merely as design gestures, but as microclimatic devices that harmonize with the land’s contours and wind patterns, balancing shade, acoustics, and airflow. Minimalist interior finishes juxtapose raw and refined textures, while light, wind, and sound weave together to create a “habitable sculpture.”
For The Wandering Walls, this feature is not only an honor, but also a chance to engage in dialogue with the international design community—continuing to explore pathways that integrate aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability in hospitality and architecture.
