A double-leaf drive gate in dark bronze, arched over open pickets with a close-boarded lower panel and a heavy X brace laid across each leaf. Bolt heads mark the joints, the way they would on a barn door.
The Stable Gate borrows its whole vocabulary from the buildings behind it — boarded panel, diagonal brace, exposed bolt heads — and then builds it in steel at driveway scale. On a horse property it reads as part of the yard rather than as an ornament bolted to the front of it.
The arch is what keeps it from looking agricultural. Each leaf rises to its own crown and the pair meet at the low point, which lifts a plain barn-door form into something that can stand at the head of a drive.
