On the one hand, it represents the richness of the host's life, on the other hand, it can also reflect the degree of care of the host for the family, and at the same time, it can also show the host's attitude towards life.

"If there is no flower arranging beast on the house, you can't climb the gatehouse." From this proverb, we can see the weight of the gatehouse in people's minds. The gatehouse is a symbol of identity and status, and has always been an important landmark of a family. It is the soul of this family. The banner of "rich" and "poor" must stand proudly in front of the house.

The construction of the gatehouse cannot be done for the time being.

Nowadays, in rural areas, the roof is often magnificent, but the important gatehouse is temporarily perfunctory, and an ugly and rough simple gatehouse is built by itself. It makes passers-by look embarrassed and is out of harmony with the whole building. I feel that building a house makes you at the end of your tether, and you can't even afford to build a gatehouse.

On the contrary, some homes are old houses, and the beautiful gatehouse makes this family look elegant. The first impression is that this family has a rigorous attitude towards life and exquisite family management, which invisibly shows the quality of life of the owner.

Development history of rural gatehouse

There are three architectural forms of rural gatehouses: Chinese gatehouses, Western gatehouses and wrought iron gatehouses.

China gatehouse: This is an ancient traditional style, made of blue bricks and tiles. The antique national culture is full of charm. It was once replaced by the "western-style gatehouse" for a while, but now it is sought after by people with good economic conditions, which can better show the extraordinary identity of the host family.

Western-style gatehouse: it's not the European style you imagined, but the customary name for a rural gatehouse made of ceramic tiles. Made of red bricks, decorated with porcelain, and inlaid with a ceramic tile calligraphy and painting at the door, it looked quite "foreign" in the first few years, but now it has basically been eliminated, and each family has the same style and is not new.

Tieyi gatehouse: This is a popular style nowadays. The shape is simple without losing the atmosphere, and the gate of the fence makes the courtyard brighter. Personally, I think this gatehouse is easier to solve the phenomenon that every door in the countryside is closed and communication with the outside world is blocked. However, although this kind of gatehouse is popular now, it always feels temporary and informal, and it is not suitable as the architectural style of regular gatehouse.

The latest concierge is the "concierge"

Building a gatehouse in a concierge is the latest fashion in modern countryside. From the economic and practical aspects, it is really cost-effective, which can not only increase the practical housing area, but also reduce the project cost of the single gatehouse, which is very popular among rural people.

Although the gatehouse is a small project, there are great differences between different styles. The project cost will also be very different, and the design and construction of the gatehouse should be decided according to its own economic conditions. My suggestion is only the gatehouse style of ordinary families in rural areas, for your reference only. The more advanced ones can't give you advice because of their limited ability, but I hope to understand!
