Problem

Windy conditions at the roundabout and adjacent loading area created discomfort, safety hazards, and movement of debris. Conventional barriers would block views or feel industrial and unwelcoming. A purely functional fence would miss an opportunity to add cultural or visual value to the public realm.

Solution

By applying Dedots, the windscreen becomes a dynamic canvas rather than a flat barrier. The archival imagery, translated into dot graphics, gives the fence narrative meaning and visual richness. The mesh structure still provides the physical function of wind protection while remaining porous and expressive. In this way, the wall works technically and symbolically.

Product

Dedots is a modular dot-panel system where colored 3D “dots” are fixed onto steel mesh panels, enabling custom images and motifs. The system allows seamless panel connections via special mounting clips, supports durability, weather resistance and visual complexity. In MMA it was used to clad a four-meter high fence with a graphic collage, turning a windscreen into an architectural artwork.

We realized a room divider rendering the understated beauty of one of Rembrandt’s portraits, for a restaurant. The double-sided construction separates whilst still respecting the character of the space by way of its transparency. By using the smaller DOT we were able to include a lot of detail in the image.

For this project Redfort collaborated with Western Australian artist Paula Hart and the school students to create the artwork for South Bunbury Primary School, in Western Australia. The artwork authentically captures the unselfconscious charm of the students’ drawings of Bunbury’s local bird life, translated into traditional lace bobbin stitches.

Enclosure

A representative from the Municipality of Dordrecht officially opened a new noise barrier along the N3 near the Health Park. The barrier, featuring images of iconic buildings and water sports from the Dordrecht area, protects the surroundings from traffic noise. The glass screen, adorned with small colored dots, serves not only as a 60-meter city tableau but also as a measure against graffiti.
