From the street it reads as a slim architectural cap; up close it removes every handhold.Background & Challenge
This Venice residence backs onto a low-traffic alley — a typical but vulnerable approach line for opportunistic entry. The homeowners asked us to raise security without changing the minimalist black façade of their perimeter fence.
Solution
- Alley corner & straight runs: Ninja Deterrent™ GIZAGIZA Heart (Black) for a crisp silhouette that denies grip.
- Bamboo side (long span): DT13SS2-B (Black) rounded modules where foliage meets the wall, ensuring continuous coverage.
- Details: No-gap corner transitions and stepped connections eliminate weak points.
- Finish: Low-gloss black to blend into the existing fence with a calm, unified look.
CPTED in practice: low-visual-load, high-physical deterrence with tight tooth spacing.
Corner continuity matters — no gaps, no footholds, no leverage.
On the bamboo side, DT13SS2-B provides secure continuity while coexisting with foliage.
Low-gloss black finish keeps the add-on invisible until you get close.
Layered approach: visible monitoring + physical denial for the alley elevation.Results & Client Feedback
“It shuts down alley access but still looks intentional. Security went up and the look stayed modern — exactly what we wanted.” — Homeowner, 339 Indiana Ave (Venice)
