Beech Tree Gate
Graceful branches form the upper frame of this gate, and the textured trunk splits into two halves as the gate opens. This gate has been copied and modified, because the essential gesture of the tree in iron is an opportunity for sculpture in the landscape.
Award winner.

Dakota Gate
Careful reconstruction of the landmark gate at the main Dakota entrance at 72nd St. created this 5-part pedestrian gate for the inner courtyard. Renaissance scrolls, rosettes, massive faux hinges, and the crowning finial were forged in pure iron. Acanthus leaves and rosettes were cast in silicon bronze from repoussed copies of the originals, and electronics were hidden behind a panel of Renaissance sheet metal work.
Award winner.

Eagle Gate
A sculpted gate of nesting eagles are painted with full-scale trompe-l’oeil realism. The Calderesque line drawings suggest tree lines, shadows, and high mountain ranges.
Award winner.

Double Maple Gate
We wanted to keep the gate structure subtle in this challenging double tree gate. We forged and formed the “tree trunk” to split into fence posts and gate frame when open. To minimize weight, branches were forged hollow, with die-forged leaves. Stainless steel fittings at the base of the tree trunk posts make this gate and side wings removable to accommodate the occasional large machine.
Award Winner.

Classical 18th century motifs are mirrored in this graceful gate for a private driveway. The four-part design repetition creates a pleasing subtle symmetry.

Gate Privacy by Design
The artful turn of thin edge against broad flat creates line and form, open space and flat barrier. View this gate from off-center, and the thin lines of open form close visually to a shuttered privacy.

Country Estate Fencing and Gate
Banded circles, powerfully tapered picket tops, and a lower panel of traditional wavy pickets complete the sense of a restrained historical work. The faux verde gris patination suggests an old bronze gate.

Country Walk Gate
This English Country Gate is a blend of sweet hand-worked forging and scrollwork to soften the gate lines. Hand-hammered horizontals help bring the gate to scale as a generous pedestrian entrance. A medallion at the gate center makes a single piece of this double gate
