Product code: ESC-SAGRERA
A modular reinforced concrete fence of vertical posts with a play of light and shadow.
Sagrera was designed to enclose a school site within the landscaping project for Barcelona's new Sagrera railway station. The gap between modules equals the spacing between the vertical posts, so the fence reads as one continuous whole, while the play of light and shadow gives it movement and lightness. It is more opaque than a metal fence, and the modules, set in a continuous concrete foundation, adapt to straight or curved runs and to changes in ground level.
