Hello all,
I live in a MCM home in Denver. Like many MCM houses, the people living in it before us destroyed it with an awesome 70s remodel, undoing most of the house's original charm.
One of the items they didn't destroy was the fence. The fence is original, and compliments the house's MCM vibe very well. That said, it's time to replace the fence in the front of the house. (It creates a courtyard of sorts between the fence and the front of the house, and creates some privacy from the street. It's only 5' tall, so not complete privacy, but a nice soft barrier.) The one thing that doesn't match the house well is the gate that separates the house from the street and creates a little courtyard of sorts. I can either redo the gate to match the fence and blend-in, or I could use it as an opportunity to add a small amount of "pop" to the front of our house, much like many Eichler owners do by having a brightly colored front door.
I'm wondering--does anyone have any contacts, links, or suggestions for cool, modern gates that can either be pre-made or custom? Sorry for the long intro to the question, but context was important! Any recommendations on material? I've been thinking either a cool design done with the same kind of cedar wood, some kind of iron, or possibly some kind of translucent material.
I'd love to see pictures if anyone has an example of something they've done!
