Quiet Strength for a Classic Facade — GIZAGIZA HEART on Milan St

At 1738 Milan St, we installed the GIZAGIZA HEART (Black) continuously along a stucco garden wall and gate return. The low, dark profile pairs with the gas lantern and shutters while eliminating grips, footholds, and hook points.

Design Fit — Keep the Heritage, Block the Climb

The home’s vintage shutters, ironwork, and gas lanterns remain the visual heroes. We specified a matte black, low-profile crown so the deterrent disappears into the coping line from afar, yet clearly signals “do not climb” at close range.

Client Voice

“We kept the classic front intact and finally got the last layer of security we needed—subtle look, strong deterrence.”
