Tashkent, A Gated Community

My kingdom for a barrier. In Tashkent, the nice housing is set back from the road a little, leaving enough room for a driveway, maybe a patch of lawn. Why share?

Time for an imposing wall and a fancy gate.

Here's a typical house with a typical wall and a typical gate. Moat is optional. The gate is a real deal hunk of steel, finished with riche flourishes.

Your style may vary, depending on how fancy you want to be, what ancient architectural period you're emulating, how metal you want to get. Heavy!

Maybe cool Miami, Palm Springs is your palette.

The gates do have a history, their brethren found in pretty wood, more as a garage door. Back to the present day, whatever configuration you need, a company can fabricate.

Deluxe look, just keep the theme going also for the pedestrian door.

Details. A gate missing its final finish, plain sheets of metal as temporary cover. Zooming in, many gates have a Gaudi-like deep frieze finish.

Old or new, a gate for every entrance.
