Moon Gate, Circular gate arch in Hamilton Gardens, New Zealand
The Moon Gate stands as a circular opening within a metal structure, creating a defined passage between different sections of Hamilton Gardens.
The design traces back to classical Chinese architecture, where circular gates marked transitions between spaces in imperial gardens and private residences.
The structure functions as a symbolic portal in Hamilton Gardens, representing the traditional Chinese belief in circular forms as portals between realms.
The metal construction measures 2.3 meters in height with a circular opening of 1.5 meters, allowing single-file passage through the gate.
The arch incorporates specific viewing angles that frame different garden sections, creating distinct perspectives as visitors move through the space.
