A continuous GIZA saw-tooth edge crowns the wood wall—subtle from afar, decisive up close.On a busy corner near Hollywood, this modern home presented multiple climbable surfaces facing a high-traffic intersection. The design brief: maintain the crisp architectural language while adding a discreet yet effective anti-climb layer.
A second nearby residence, set back from the main street around 187 Highland Ave, requested a coordinated solution for a side gate in a quieter, classic-meets-modern setting.
For the corner lot, we installed a Ninja Deterrent™ GIZAGIZA saw-tooth profile along the top of the exterior wood wall. The razor-clean rhythm blends with the horizontal cladding and drought-tolerant agave planting, delivering a minimalist silhouette that denies hand purchase without visual clutter.
For the Highland Ave side gate, we specified Ninja Deterrent™ GIZAGIZA Heart along the gate’s upper rail. The heart-cut geometry pairs naturally with the home’s black steel, wood fence elements, and wrought-iron window accents—modern yet classically detailed.
Gate integration: a slim saw-tooth line matches the steelwork and continues the perimeter defense.
The anti-climb line reads as a neat architectural cap while remaining highly functional.
