At a compact apartment building in a quiet neighborhood just off central Washington, DC, we installed the GIZAGIZA HEART Black along a tall wood entry gate, adjacent concrete wing walls, and a steel security screen around the stair tower. From the street it reads as a thin shadow line; up close it eliminates grips, footholds, and hook points. (Exact address withheld for privacy.)

Design Notes
The buildings exposed steel and board-formed concrete set a precise rhythm. The GIZAGIZA HEART continues that rhythm as a slim crown that disappears into the coping line until you get closewhen its purpose is unmistakable.
Resident Feedback
Subtle from the sidewalk, but theres nowhere to grab anymore. It finishes the security envelope without changing the look.
