Here is a thproughly modern descendant of the Chinese moon gate, a round opening in a wall made to suggest the full moon that illuminates a nighttime landscape. Built of western red cedar in a Lake Forest garden, it stands at the end of a long sightline, giving the eye a captivating place to stop. It serves a second purpose too. Designer Chuck Hyams of the Lake Bluff landscaping firm Scott Byron & Co. used the arbor to punctuate a transition from formal gardens to loose prairie.
