Establishing a formal entry to a wooded site. Wood Fence Style #19 in Ross, California (Marin County). Defining the need for a CPW Garden 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 Fence panels introduce a long foyer of subesequent Garden Fencing. |

The pool area and the succession of our Garden Fence foyer are fused, or accessible to one another, while maintaining their respective boundaries. A dedicated pool gate, shown here left centrai, allows arrivals and departures without entering the primary Entrance Gate to the house. And from the looks of our pool guest, it appears an exit is imminent. |

From the other end, we see the existing ivy structure at the far end of the pool, where the openings have been trimmed to help corroborate the Wood Fence grids. |

In this project, neither Charles nor Ben were ever actually aware of the site application of the various panel orders. They were simply ordered as varying widths and heights by the contractor. |

Showing our Garden Fencing as the three centered front decorative screens, flanked by the arbor on the right and the railings on the left. I think what this illustrates more than anything else is that you need only the suggestion of privacy to create a sitting area that feels insulated from the goings on beyond. Never more true than with an open setting such as this, but not to be ignored even for those in tradition urban neighborhoods. Your patio is not your living room; it is a part of your landscape, and therefore a part of the generally exposed community, such as your neighbors. Hiding from this, as with solid privacy walls, is construed by some as fear or even paranoia. Exposing yourself freely, while in your yard and patio, is associated with strength of character. The confidence of having your tea on the patio with the subtle demarcation of a suggestive visual screen as designed in Fence style #19. |
