2020 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards Winner
Saltwater Creek Bridge
A worthy addition to Nelson’s developing Mahitahi Walkway, Saltwater Creek bridge is an important connection between city and port. Subtle shaping of the curving timber exo-skeleton, with integrated detailing and lighting, creates an evocative form appropriate to this high-profile location. Conceived as a timber structure, the bridge replaces a more conventional steel and concrete predecessor. Careful consideration has been given to durability and seismic resilience in this project which serves as a test case for timber use in small public works.
