Gabriel designed parish churches for the Church of England and houses for private clients.

One of Gabriel's last commissions was Ashley House in Bristol for Sir Charles Wathen.^[6] Wathen served as Mayor of Bristol and contributed to the building of several of its public buildings.^[6] In 2008 there was a proposal to demolish Ashley House^[6] and SAVE Britain's Heritage responded by supporting a campaign for the building's retention.^[6]
