For the urban plan ‘Merwehoofd Papendrecht Quayside’  fences were designed with a solid appearance and characteristic of the port area. The private spaces around the apartment buildings were designed as elevated sidewalks and separated from the quay through the fence. The system consists of poles and pipes which can be customized. The poles are placed over a sleeve so that no fasteners or construction bolts are in sight. At the entrances of the houses we used a bright spotlight in the head of an integrated pole. The steelwork is powder coated in a subtle gray color.
