Mills Street

A Medium Density Fencing Solution at Mills Street Development

The Mills Street development shows how well planned medium-density living can look and feel. Set in Boulcott, on the edge of Lower Hutt CBD, this project brings together thirteen modern townhouses in a way that feels cohesive without becoming repetitive. Boundaryline medium density fencing solutions play a key role here, helping shape boundaries that feel considered, practical, and easy to live with.

A Balance of Continuity and Individuality

As housing demand grows across the Wellington region, developments like this need to be able to create a sense of individuality within a higher density setting. In this case, the design creates a strong sense of connection across the site, while still giving each home its own identity. Consistent materials and proportions tie everything together. Meanwhile, changes in layout and rooflines break things up. Boundaryline fencing supports this approach by offering medium density fencing systems that stay consistent across the development, yet adapt easily to each individual lot.

Clean Lines with Colourslat Steel and DuraPanel Delta

At the front of each home, Boundaryline’s ColourSlat Steel fencing sets the tone. The slim steel slats let light through, which keeps the space feeling open, while still creating privacy where it counts. As a result, these front boundaries feel defined without becoming heavy or closed off. Because ColourSlat uses pre-finished coloured steel, it handles the elements with ease. It won’t warp, twist, or fade, so it continues to look sharp over time. On top of that, the modular system makes installation straightforward, even across slopes or corners. To complete the frontage, matching ColourSlat pedestrian gates tie everything together, giving each property a clean and consistent entry. To finish, DuraPanel Delta creates a sense of division between each dwelling, making each property feel like an individual home. 

SmartWall Vertical Fencing

At the back, Boundaryline’s SmartWall Vertical fencing shifts the feel. Instead of steel, it introduces timber, which softens the space and adds warmth. Steel posts and rails provide the structure, while cross-laminated timber palings bring in a more natural finish. The palings use Micro-pro treated Radiata Pine, so they’re safe, durable, and well-suited to residential spaces. Homeowners can also stain or paint them, which allows each property to carry its own look through to the backyard. In addition, SmartWall offers acoustic benefits and a slim profile, making it a smart choice for tighter boundaries where neighbours sit close by.

A Cohesive and Liveable Outcome

Even with a higher density than the surrounding area, the development settles comfortably into its environment. It sits close to the Hutt River and surrounding greenery, which helps balance the built form with a natural outlook. Boundaryline medium density fencing solutions supports that outcome by keeping lines clean, materials consistent, and spaces practical to use day to day.
