'landscape fence', a dwelling overlooking a lake in austria, has been designed by viennese practice heri&salli. the concept of
the typical chain link fence has been transformed into an aesthetic element, enveloping this residence to provide privacy from neighbors while directing attention towards the scenic landscape. arcing and spanning above an outdoor pool and deck, the canopy's purpose of
demarcating the property's boundaries becomes lost, instead conveying an experiential feeling of spaciousness. the diagonal pattern continuously wraps from the ceiling plane into the floor, integrating stairs, seating and tables into the fluid form.
