Showcasing a superior product with ModularWalls

Known for pushing design boundaries, The Thomasz’ understand the appeal of standing out from the crowd. The Thomasz’ opted against metal or steel fencing, commonly used in the area. Painted in Dulux Lexicon Quarter, the fencing seamlessly blends with the overall design.

“We opted against metal fencing, a common sight on most houses in Perth. We aimed to distinguish this house by showcasing a superior product – it looked sophisticated with its sleek design, suggesting a high-end quality.

As professional builders and building designers, the privacy, noise reduction, and aesthetic benefits of ModularWalls really stand out.”

A resort-inspired backyard retreat

Creating a backyard space that prioritised privacy and evoked resort-style living was a key goal for the Thomasz’. The outdoor area exudes luxury and opulence, with considered design details in abundance.

“Our foremost goal was to create a space dedicated to entertaining and savouring the home’s features. We aimed to create a backyard retreat reminiscent of a resort, prioritising privacy with an overarching Spanish ambience.”

The alfresco area, complete with a fireplace and outdoor kitchen, is perfect for gatherings. The cabana provides an overarching Spanish flair, creating the feeling of a dreamy European retreat.

“ModularWalls solutions are particularly attractive due to their noise reduction capabilities, sleek design, and cost-effectiveness.”

ModularWalls’ high-performance VogueWall® solution provides the ideal backdrop for the stunning outdoor design, with the perfect balance of style, privacy and acoustic benefits.

Aesthetics: a distinct competitive advantage with ModularWalls

As self-confessed perfectionists, it’s no surprise that a flawless result was of paramount importance for the Thomasz’.

“We chose VogueWall® because of the sleek aesthetics and the privacy. It was minimalistic; that was the vision for the home.”

With ModularWalls, the Thomasz’ once again showcased their commitment to quality and attention to detail, ensuring their latest project, Casa Curvas, stands out for its beauty and  thoughtful integration of form and function.

Privacy and seclusion

Acoustic privacy is crucial for creating a premium, resort-inspired outdoor space. With proven noise attenuation, ModularWalls has significantly benefited the property boundary and added to the sense of seclusion within the home.

“We feel the yard is really quiet, and the house is only 5kms from the CBD!”

Not to mention, their newfound acoustic privacy means the freedom to entertain outdoors without worrying about disturbing their neighbours.

Thanks to VogueWall®s’ stately design and ability to reach heights of up to 3m*, it emerges as an ideal choice for boundary fencing when privacy is paramount. The Thomasz’ worked closely with their neighbours to agree upon a height of 2.1m, benefiting both properties and ensuring a harmonious aesthetic.

“ModularWalls has helped ensure privacy and freedom for us to enjoy the space without worrying about disturbing neighbours, particularly with the 2.1m height. We believe we now have a superior product compared to our original choice.”

Additionally, given the proximity of a laneway and a park behind their backyard, the Thomasz’ opted for an integrated gate within their VogueWall® solution for convenient access.

“We are really happy with the product and think it’s fantastic for a family with kids or even without. Everyone who has seen the home loves the fencing! The style is authentic and we are proud of how it has come together.”
