Southwestern Style Home Design with Wooden Gate

The client has a contemporary Southwestern style home in Southern Oregon. To accentuate their Spanish style courtyard, they created a decorative wooden gate. Built by Scott Jensen Construction of Jacksonville, Oregon, the Spanish style gate features a dark bronze gate latch with lever. The texture on the latch fits with the rustic feel, while the lever gives it a contemporary look. Note the wood gate stop attached to the stucco wall. The stop protects the latch's arm (on the inside of the gate) from bending and breaking. Photos by H. McIntyre.
