CloseThe Latitude Apartments in Arlington, Virginia is located in the Ballston-Virginia Square neighborhood. The building has direct access to the Virginia Square Metro Station, which is located across the street and sits just blocks from George Mason Law School. Placed just three miles southwest of Washington, D.C, the placement of these apartments makes it an ideal home for commuters and families alike.
The corrosion protection of hot-dip galvanizing was a key element in choosing the type of coating required for this fabrication
Miscellaneous Metals was commissioned to create the sculpture for the Latitude Apartments to welcome visitors and residents as they approach the building front. The corrosion protection of hot-dip galvanizing was a key element in choosing the type of coating required for this fabrication. The sculpture's high visibility placement in front of the Latitude Apartments required a coating that would stand the test of time, without showing signs of rust or needing repair.
