A beautiful solution to security barriers

This middle school campus had an existing open plan layout and needed to add security barriers. The challenge was trying to make the barriers less like a wall or fence, which we achieved with the use of color and open patches. We designed metal panels with a waterjet-cut pattern to ensure security while adding some softness and lightness.
