THE THRESHOLD, ENGINEERED.
PROJECT STORY
A private villa required an entrance that reads as architecture, not hardware. A 9-metre sliding gate paired with a matching fence line, sharing one rhythm of verticals and one matte-black finish.
A wide opening on a sloped drive, automation to integrate, and a fence line that had to stay perfectly straight across 40 metres.
A single datum rail ties gate and fence into one system. The sliding leaf runs on a recessed track with a concealed motor bay; every vertical is jig-welded to a 2 mm tolerance.

MATERIALS
| MATERIALS | Steel SHS frame · laser-cut infill · matte black powder coat |
|---|---|
| FABRICATION | Jig-welded leaves, laser-cut panels, full-penetration welds at the track interface. |
| FINISHING | Zinc-rich primer, matte black polyester powder coat, 120 micron DFT for outdoor exposure. |
| INSTALLATION | Two-day install: track foundation, leaf hang, automation commissioning, alignment to the fence datum. |
THE RESULT
An entrance that opens silently and reads as one continuous architectural line.
