New Work - Store Front Gate Installed

The new store front gate of Minerva.

Up close.

There would be a padlock to close the gate together - you can see Anne (my client) behind the glass doors on her way to lock up.

I had a late meeting this evening so I went via Cuba Street to see Minerva's new store front gate in use as it would be at the end of the working day. I have seen the gate since it's installation but hadn't had the chance to see it fully closed. The steel guys did a great job producing this gate and the client is happy with how it turned out. It has been getting many positive comments from customers too.

New Work - Store Front Gate

Minerva is a retail store that I worked on a couple of years ago. We are updating the store this month with a new counter, extra shelving and a store front gate.

I went to the steel factory this morning to check on progress of the gate (hopefully you can distinguish it from the background) and it's looking good. It is a simple design and I used the 'M' as the focus for the central panel. We also added some leaves and flowers trailing out out from the M to relate to the Minerva logo. Just need to choose the powdercoat colour (a dark charocal grey) and hopefully it will be installed in the next week or so.
