Client: Private residence
Location: Cabbagetown, Toronto

Project Scope/Client Needs

Our client had a beautiful gate that needed some love as several boards had come loose and the gate no longer was secure.

Solution/Implementation

We assessed the gate and realized that it just needed a facelift. We removed the damaged boards and replaced them with new cedar. We used the original style and incorporated the original cast iron decorative grill, and added our own flair and functionality mounting the original lock as well. This was both budget-friendly and environmentally friendly by reusing as much as possible.
