Defining the Fence
We approach the property at this first inviting juncture with a hint of what lies beyond—embraced by the defining sensations of this home. An expectation is aroused, culling us into the garden and the surrounding grounds, drawn from this defining structure and its architectural hierarchy. Leading us, ultimately, to those who occupy this space, the very nature of who they are, and the courtesy of their existence.

This impression can be dulled, waved off dismissively by the simple rough-hewn need to hammer out a boundary… Or, to the more acquired eye, it can be elevated to an exposure it deserves.           Please… please come in. How lovely to see you again.

  The resulting amendments were to help establish a proper entry. New stone steps were configured as a sweeping invitation to where two narrow flanking panels introduce a long foyer.

  At one end, the Front Entry Gate mirrors the glass pattern— a combination of amber-threaded glass and etched sycamore leaves—introduced in the flanking panels 70 feet away.

  The pool area and the entry foyer are fused, or accessible  to one another, while maintaining their respective boundaries.  A dedicated pool gate, shown here, allows arrivals and departures   without entering the primary gate to the house.

  From the other end, we see the existing ivy structure at the far end of the pool,  where the openings have been trimmed into nice clean openings to help  corroborate the panel grids.
