A symbolic entrance, a greeting, a pause when changing from one space to the next, may all be accomplished with a well executed gate.  A gate is often is the first impression, setting the aesthetic mood for what’s inside.  A gate is a very important beginning into mentally entering another space.  It offers a chance to pause between where you are and where you want to go.

I loved designing this arched entry into a mini-vineyard garden.  This arch is actually made of steel.

This entry gate blends with the natural surroundings and maximizes the views, which is a prefect representation of the space inside.

These are the gates to enter Kachina Springs at Entrada.  They really sets the architectural tone for the community.

I  designed several gates to choose from for the homes in Entrada.  The kokopelli man on my gate gives a nod to the original inhabitants of the area.
