These have to be our entrance pillars (One must start as one intends to go on....)I think an entrance, much like one's first cocktail at a great party, should set the mood. From the moment someone enters the grounds of Willowbrook Park, even before they step foot into our glorious vision of Arcadia, we want them to feel its uniqueness, presence and exclusivity. When people drive past we want them to be curious about what lies beyond, hopefully curious enough to come in and enjoy our hospitality.
For this reason we are having imposing wrought iron gates made, with the Willowbrook crest emblazoned upon them (c.f. below).
Further examples of magnificent entrances:
Above: Versailles, Below: Buck House
Further examples:
The crest doesn't have to be gourdy or overstated, just enough to make the gate unique:
There is nothing else for it...you are just going to have to have multiple entrances so that you can utilise several of these wonderful examples!!! How ever are you going to narrow down your choice?
