### Overview

The Observation Tower at Kemeri National Park in Latvia is designed to enhance visitors' experience of the park's diverse landscapes, including wetlands and forests. This architectural initiative prioritizes a connection between users and the natural environment, positioning itself as both a destination and vantage point for observation and exploration.

### Accessibility and Environmental Stewardship

The design incorporates an extensive pathway, referred to as "The Path," which leads to the observation platform while ensuring accessibility for individuals with mobility challenges through the addition of an accompanying footbridge. This consideration of inclusivity is complemented by the preservation of existing pathways and trees, reflecting a commitment to environmental stewardship. The integration of these elements supports sustainable architectural practices while allowing visitors of all ages to engage with the park's natural surroundings.

### Material Selection and Structural Composition

A careful selection of materials has been made to ensure functionality, aesthetic appeal, and ecological sustainability. The primary material used is preserved wood, chosen for its low environmental impact. Non-slip wooden boards are applied along pathways for safety, while a grid mesh is utilized in the observation tower to enhance structural integrity. The Observation Tower itself features a multi-level design, comprising a lower deck and an upper observation area, which provides varied heights for viewing. The use of cutouts and frames in the observation area directs visitors' attention to significant natural features in the landscape, thereby enriching their engagement with the park.
