East Palo Alto, CA
For a multi-family residential project in East Palo Alto, BŌK Modern provided security perimeter fencing in a custom pattern designed by the architect to break up the monotony of the very long runs.
BŌK Modern also provided a clean stainless steel blade post that was cast into a concrete footing. The panels then bolted directly to the blades resulting in a very clean and modern fencing solution.
Signage was integrated by laser-cutting directly into the gate panels.
