In a groundbreaking residential development in Woolooware, NSW, Australia’s first full-scale 3D printed homes demanded innovation at every stage – including its fencing solution.
The dual-occupancy project, constructed on a prominent block along a busy main road, aimed to showcase cutting-edge construction methods while delivering a premium, high-end aesthetic.
The team turned to ModularWalls’ TrendWall® system to meet both performance and aesthetic expectations.
More than a boundary for Australia’s first full-scale 3D printed homes
This project required a boundary and dividing wall system that could do more than simply mark property lines. The solution needed to deliver effective acoustic performance while seamlessly complementing the high-end aesthetic of the development.
Retaining was also required to support the landscaped garden design between the two blocks, without compromising the sleek contemporary finish.
“The needs were many for our TrendWall fence here. Being the property it is, it had to look very classy, have a high-end feel and appeal, which it’s done.”
Privacy for quiet enjoyment
With the home positioned on a main road and designed as a duplex, noise reduction and privacy were non-negotiables. The acoustic properties of TrendWall significantly reduced ambient noise from the road and neighbouring properties, creating a quieter, and more comfortable living environment.
The wall provided crucial sightline protection, creating a visual screen between residences and outdoor areas, including the elevated pool and entertainment decks, ensuring residents enjoy their space.
“Being a duplex, it is very important for acoustic attenuation. We don’t want to hear our neighbours, and we don’t want to see our neighbours.”
TrendWall fuses architectural styles with high-performance
TrendWall was selected for its ability to deliver in all areas – style, sound attenuation, and seamless integration. The modular design enabled fast and efficient installation, reducing labour time and minimising on-site disruption.
The clean lines and rendered masonry-look finish, aligned perfectly with the home’s bold architectural design, elevating the overall aesthetic and contributing to a premium look and feel.
To further enhance street appeal, the front boundary system integrated custom 3D printed planter boxes, creating a seamless visual transition between structure and landscaping.
“It elevated the outdoor space, giving it a polished and sophisticated look while still feeling warm and inviting.”
A premium edge for the finishing touch
With expert support from ModularWalls’ engineering team, the developers navigated complex sections that required retaining and greater wall heights. The collaborative approach ensured all challenges were met with practical, cost-effective solutions.
Feedback from neighbours and prospective buyers alike has been overwhelmingly positive, with many commenting on the striking appearance and noticeable reduction in noise. Compared to standard fencing alternatives, the TrendWall system delivered a premium edge that resonated with the project’s forward-thinking ethos.
“The class and elegance that the TrendWall system has added to the build is the finishing touch. Not only has it delivered on every practical and aesthetic need — it’s genuinely elevated the value of the property.”
Quality & performance add value
ModularWalls was chosen for its proven performance, contemporary design, and ease of installation. For a landmark build like this, compromising was never an option – and TrendWall frames the project to perfection.
“You might spend extra on a Modular Wall, but it can add $50,000–$100,000 to the value of the home. It’s a no-brainer for developers who want quality and performance.”
