Casas Adobes Agaves

Casas Adobes is a beautiful neighborhood that was being used as a œshortcut route by speeding cars and trucks. The request for a permanent closing of their road led to my designing five gabions (steel mesh cages filled with Coronado rocks) to aesthetically form a vehicle barrier that also function as bases for reflective stainless steel agave sculptures. The gabion sculptures are maintenance free, massive in dissuading vehicles, and highly visible for traffic safety.
