| project scope | 14 bridges |
This new residential development incorporates five different semi-urban settings which are interconnected by bridges. The basic design principle for those bridges is intended to provide a sense of continuity and uniformity.
Although the bridges are intended for different purposes (motorized traffic, cyclists, pedestrians) they rely on a single design approach in order to create cohesion within the neighborhood as a whole. A consistent design philosophy has been applied to form, choice of materials and color alike, whereby the bridges present a welcoming and inviting image.
