The inimitable Craftsman style Wood Driveway Gate in Bel Air, California. A bevy of floating panels separated within joined mid-rails and stiles.

Restricted by the given overall width, we have grounded our entire assembly with a single Column. Had there been more width available, we might have flanked the driveway gate with another column on the right and and yet a third on the far left, against an existing stucco wall, leaving the pedestrian gate to hinge off a modest 6x6 post.

One wonders, if in this application, the gate assembly might more appropriately be of the same color as the body of the bay window.  Deciding on whether to leave an assembly natural, stain, or paint, depends on a host of factors.  The site; the size of the site in comparison to the residence; the proximity of the assembly to the residence; the setting, whether woodsy and organic, or urban and manicured. 

The deciding goal is not to have the CPW assembly upstage an existing precedent.  It should moreover, appear as if it were designed and built when the original structure was created.
