Fences -- Modernist, Geometric

Saw this new fence along Hyperion in  Silverlake, California. Such an interesting take on simple materials. The gray slats are similar to a composite decking material. I think this fence is a perfect example of the power of design to influence the final product. These materials could make a nice, clean, unremarkable fence. For the same amount of materials and similar cost, one can design something striking and unique. It's all about vision, concept and creativity.

I think it's quite successful, but it does not blend well with the properties on either side of it. I guess it depends on how much that matters to you. In Los Angeles, each property can be so radically different from the one next-door, that we are probably more forgiving of a complete lack of architectural consistency, but it was quite noticeable here.
