This pedestrian bridge project introduces a bold and contemporary intervention within a historic context.

 

Its dynamic triangular structure, supported by suspension cables and accentuated with architectural lighting, creates a strong visual identity both day and night. The design prioritises accessibility and user experience, offering an engaging sequence of spatial frames as pedestrians move across.

 

Carefully proportioned sections and structural rhythm create a sense of movement and lightness, while the use of clean materials ensures harmony with its maritime surroundings.
