The proposal located in Gauja National Park is centered on melding a new structure with the surrounding landscape, enhancing the experience for visitors. Set in Latvia's beautiful natural environment, the project aims to celebrate the area's distinct character through the design. The concept emphasizes environmental harmony, using a form that connects with the local topography and plant life.

Structural Integration

The design employs soft lines and gentle curves that promote interaction with the landscape. By using trees as natural supports, the structure creates a light appearance that minimizes its visual impact. This choice shows a commitment to integrating architecture with the environment, resulting in a space where natural and built forms coexist.

Visitor Experience

The bridge acts as an important entry point for walkers, connecting with existing paths to create smooth transitions through the park. Ramps are designed wider at their base, allowing for easier movement. This focus on pedestrian flow improves accessibility while keeping the area’s visual harmony intact.

Environmental Considerations

An effective water deck drainage system is part of the design, managing rainwater runoff from the ramps. Channels direct rainwater to nourish nearby plants, encouraging ecological balance. This feature addresses practical drainage needs and reflects a commitment to environmental awareness.

Material Application

The project uses specific materials to ensure durability and strength. A wooden deck offers a sturdy walking surface, while a concrete slab provides solid support. The inclusion of cement board adds longevity, and the steel structure gives necessary stability.
