Equipoise is located at Nemrut Volcano in Eastern Turkey and functions as an observation structure designed to facilitate engagement with the volcanic landscape. The design directs visitors along accessible paths and multiple vantage points, encouraging exploration and an appreciation of the surrounding geological features. The layout prioritizes a careful balance between human activity and the natural environment.

Spatial Strategy and User Experience
The structure operates as both a pathway and observation deck, offering divergent routes that lead to various edges and lookout points. This arrangement provides multiple perspectives of the volcano and its topography, promoting active exploration rather than a single fixed viewpoint. Vertical elements within the design guide movement upward while maintaining harmony with the surrounding terrain, enhancing visibility and interaction with the landscape.

Materiality and Sustainability
The project employs prefabricated engineered timber to reduce on-site waste and minimize ecological impact. Steel supports provide structural reinforcement where needed, while tempered laminated glass ensures safety and unobstructed views. The combination of natural and industrial materials creates a tactile quality while maintaining durability and stability. This approach integrates environmental considerations with functional and aesthetic objectives, allowing visitors to experience the landscape with minimal disruption to the site.
