Transitioning with exterior gateways

by Katie Hutchison

Although we don't always think of them, we frequently use exterior gateways on our way to entering a house. Architect and designer Katie Hutchison offers a survey of various entry gateways in a variety of styles. The design ideas include portals for entrances off sidewalks and parking areas. Hutchison advises that you consider the style of your own aesthetic so that you can develop an appropriate, nuanced design for a gateway portal for your house and yard.
