Some common gate designs used in Mission Revival houses include:
1. Wrought Iron Gates: These gates are often decorated with intricate scrollwork, geometric patterns, and decorative details inspired by Spanish and Moorish designs.
2. Arched Gates: Arched gates are a prominent feature in Mission Revival architecture. The arches can be simple or adorned with decorative elements like tiles or wrought iron details.
3. Wooden Gates: Wooden gates with a rustic, natural finish are also commonly used in Mission Revival houses. They often feature traditional joinery techniques and may be embellished with wrought iron or tile accents.
4. Stucco Gates: Stucco is a characteristic material used in Mission Revival architecture, and gates made of stucco can seamlessly blend with the overall aesthetic of the house.
5. Tile Accents: Tiles with geometric patterns and vibrant colors are commonly used to add decorative accents to gates in Mission Revival houses. They are often incorporated into wrought iron or wooden structures.
6. Decorative Grilles: Grilles with ornamental patterns are installed on gates to provide security while adding visual interest. They are typically made of wrought iron or other metal materials to match the overall architectural style.
