Problem

Roof terraces need safeguards to prevent falls, but standard protective screens are often purely functional, rigid and visually disconnected. A typical solution can disrupt the design language of the building. In many cases, safety barriers detract from the terrace’s aesthetic appeal and spatial harmony.

Solution

With Dedots we developed a screen that provides the required protection while still feeling integral to the architecture. The contrasting finishes (black outside, chrome inside) allow the screen to “disappear” or reveal itself depending on view and light. The patterning and materiality ensure the screen supports both safety and design continuity.

Product

Dedots is a modular dot-panel mesh system in which 3D dots are affixed to supporting mesh panels. The system can be customized in density, color, finish and mounting method. It meets structural, fire and performance requirements while offering visual flexibility. In this project Dedots was used as a safety screen that combines fall protection with architectural expression.

The Red House was the result of a contest where the architect was asked to create a building that would be pay homage to the former red-light district. The Lace Fence plays an important part in the concept of the architect, in creating the contour of an iconic house. The design won the contest and so it changed the sketch from fantasy to reality.

Facade

The façade is designed for an office building that reduces the amount of direct sunlight into the work place by 35% and also offers privacy to functions. Different densities in the diamond pattern create a dynamic image within the framework of the glass facade.
