The minimum structural requirement: two steel blades at 90 degrees.
Maximum solidity, but at the same time the unexpected detail of a free gap in the continuity of the fence. The vertical pole of each sector comes very close to each other, without touching.
Each “L” supports a pair of horizontal wooden crosspieces, alternating the fixing flange towards the inside and towards the outside. In each subsequent sector the positioning of the pole is mirrored and in the middle remains a 5 centimetres empty space, composing a succession of landscape slices that are different each time. The small fenced garden thus merges back into the spatial continuity of the surrounding agricultural fields. A simple system, with rapid construction times, but capable of managing infinite variations in slope and rotation of the fence line with the same detail. The large seasoned and planed larch beams have excellent durability, about half a century more than the pre-existing fences in debarked fir trunks.

Stell “L” profiles 80×80 mm, 8 mm thick, enameled in iron-micaceous.
Seasoned and planed larch boards, natural impregnation, 200×50 mm.
Fixing with stainless steel Torx screws.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The minimum structural: a “T” shaped iron profile.
The ergonomic archetype for a handrail: a turned larch pole.
Very smooth and quite good to not accumulate dust or dirt, it accompanies the staircase that separates the house from the street.
The minimum contribution of material and shape to reduce as much as possible the bulk of the artifact that, falling in the middle of the garden, broke the spatial unity of the property. For the same reason, here too the continuity of the fence is interrupted, leaving space for the visual and physical passage, as well as for the trunk of a tree that the path coasts along.
A simple system, with fast construction times: the semi-finished pieces are brought by the manufacturer directly to the construction site without workshop processing. Few simple cutting, drilling, screwing operations and a final gesture: the grinder trimming of the “T” profile parallel to the slope of the handrail.

Steel “T” profiles 80x80mm, thickness 8mm, enameled iron-micaceous.
