Where function meets imagination

Challenge

Outdoor sports fields are often vulnerable to wind disturbances, which can affect gameplay and comfort. Standard fences or windbreaks tend to be visually bland and purely utilitarian. They fail to contribute to the park’s character or engage spectators and local residents.

Solution

By applying Dedots, the enclosure becomes more than just a wind barrier. The dot-based imagery allows the fence to tell stories tied to sport and landscape, giving visual interest while maintaining performance. The mesh structure filters wind, reducing its impact, while the custom graphics connect the community to the venue.

Product

Dedots is a modular dot-panel mesh system in which colored 3D dots are affixed to wire mesh panels, enabling detailed visual motifs across large surfaces. It supports varying densities, custom colors and seamless mounting. In this project Dedots was used as a high-performance wind-reducing enclosure that also functions as a narrative architectural canvas.

For a baseball club north from Moscow, we designed a fence that not only separates the sports complex from its surroundings, but also presents the club’s activity and star players to the world. The 40x40mm mesh size of the base carrier prevents the fence from being climbed.

For NL-architects we realized a fence around a pumping station on a sports park in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The photography of Muybridge was used to convert a static fence into a dynamic object, matching the sports theme. A perpetual motion machine of 100 running men.

Enclosure

Enclosure and gates for a large public sportspark. The pattern is inspired on 80 different cultures living in the area and is meant to celebrate the diversity and connect the community. After intensive research including interviewing over 300 people living in the area which pattern they feel most related to, we have created this unique and personal pattern collection.
