I wanted a large, simple trellis to fill a blank, uninteresting wall that forms the main approach to my front door. I chose a plant (Espalier Camellia) that would not grow into the brick and mortar since I have read this can compromise the integrity of the brickwork and is difficult to remove. The challenge was finding a large enough trellis that would also look good. I thought metal would be the best material for the trellis since I knew it would be durable over the years and I worried that a wooden trellis would start to fall apart from moisture and under the weight of the mature plants as they grew. I did not want my trellis to start failing just as my plants were reaching their most beautiful stage! I found some rod iron trellises but, they were all too small and not nearly the height and scale I needed. The Garden Metalwork trellis was perfect since it had a beautiful dark bronze finish and because the metal is aluminum it was also lightweight and very durable. A rod iron trellis (if you could find one) in the size of the Garden Metalwork aluminum trellis would weigh a ton! Now I have a worry-free, beautiful trellis for my plants to climb that will last for years and continue to get more beautiful over time. The wall already looks so much better since the trellis adds dimension with a material that compliments the brickwork. And once the plants form around the trellis it will be a beautiful focal point to my entranceway!

Down-to-studs remodel and second floor addition. The original house was a simple plain ranch house with a layout that didn’t function well for the family. We changed the house to a contemporary Mediterranean with an eclectic mix of details. Space was limited by City Planning requirements so an important aspect of the design was to optimize every bit of space, both inside and outside. The living space extends out to functional places in the back and front yards: a private shaded back yard and a sunny seating area in the front yard off the kitchen where neighbors can easily mingle with the family. A Japanese bath off the master bedroom upstairs overlooks a private roof deck which is screened from neighbors’ views by a trellis with plants growing from planter boxes and with lanterns hanging from a trellis above.

In the main entry of this home, the stained glass sidelight is reflected in the hallway wall mirror - in effect - creating a mirror image and the illusion of two windows in the same space, and adding more light to a small area. The client requested a rose trellis design. Photo by Doris Cultraro
