GATEWAYS A beautiful gateway stirs our imagination. It serves a simple function, yet can become a mysterious portal sparking the viewer’s curiosity as to what lies beyond. This gateway is one of two entrances to an enchanting, tropical pool garden, complete with waterfalls and a spa....it needed to be special. It provides the required pool separation, while allowing the viewer glimpses of the lush garden on the other side. The gateways are tucked in among a landscape of semi-tropical plants enhancing pool garden vistas. The heavy beams of the trellis reflect the architecture of the house, while the smooth finish and stained fretwork add delicacy and a human scale. The iron handle turns with the crisp precision of perfectly crafted carpentry as the gate silently opens, allowing entry into a private Shangri La.
