Pete J. Vallas, A.I.A., ArchitectThe family room's center French door, lunette dormer, and fireplace were aligned with the existing entrance walk from the street. The pair of custom designed entrance gates repeat the "sheaf of wheat" pattern of the balcony railing above the entrance.

Carolle Huber Landscape ArchitectureEntry into secret garden under archway. The graceful arch echoes the curved gate and round steps; all is lit with an unusual fixture. Notice the contrast between smooth and rough surfaces.
Westfall Design StudioFront plastered walls, entry gates, an arbor structure and raised planters were developed to provide privacy for the exterior front courtyard beyond. Smooth plaster, metal framed gates with wood panels, and slate paving add a clean simple feel to the front elevation of this residence.

Front Gate Designs & Ideas
Windsor CompaniesThe entire grounds of this Lake Minnetonka home was renovated as part of a major home remodel.
The orientation of the entrance was improved to better align automobile traffic. The new permeable driveway is built of recycled clay bricks placed on gravel. The remainder of the front yard is organized by soft lawn spaces and large Birch trees. The entrance to the home is accentuated by masses of annual flowers that frame the bluestone steps.
On the lake side of the home a secluded, private patio offers refuge from the more publicly viewed backyard.
This project earned Windsor Companies a Grand Honor award and Judge's Choice by the Minnesota Nursery and Landscape Association.
