This is one of those things I noticed a while back but never really got the chance to go ahead and do it. A study on fences/gates..... yes sounds horribly boring but I've noticed quite a lot of different styles of fences/gates in Piha and out in the more rural communitys. The sheer range of styles is staggering, from natural wood or stone fences to full high tech automated security barricades. The styles in Piha all seemed to either be of natural materials or a very unobtrusive color. I think the fences in Piha are all very stylized to the house and are almost utilitarian in nature. The fences are not quite as ornate or over the top decorated even considering the house or keeping in mind its the first thing people notice. On that note I realized that some of the fences were very unnoticable and blended in very well and could very well be missed if I wasnt actively looking for them.
I guess I will put this part in as a field study as it doesnt relate to my project but I found it interesting nonetheless
