A grand confluence of residential
and landscape architecure

At this LaJolla, CA. property, we have an automated sliding Driveway Gate set against a stucco sound wall. To the right and far left are Insert Panels to help lighten the mass of the wall. The inserts are designed with suggestive patterns that are only identifiable from a distance. Similiar to the effect of an impressionist painting. There are four inserts total, with only two shown.

The accompanying Pedestrian Entrance Gate, arbor, insert panels, and even the mail slot door. --The pyramid style pattern of the gate grids compliments the low-slung roof line.  All of it illustrates the importance of understanding the hierarchy of a site's presentation; the residential architecture may establish a prominence, but it is undeniably the Driveway Gate and it's accomplices which create the impressionable motif.
