Drawing on our experience in bridge design, we created a bespoke pedestrian footbridge for Meridian Water.
As a major London regeneration programme, led by Enfield Council, comprising a large infrastructure network and 10,000 homes, this infrastructure which delivers on the third placemaking pillar developed by Enfield Council, ‘your place to make and create’.
Much of the initial investment at Meridian Water will be realised through the infrastructure, therefore we saw this as an opportunity to unite the local community and give them a sense of ownership, now and into the future.
Building on the existing carpentry industry and warehouse assets, we have designed a timber-based ‘kit of parts’ that can be made locally. This is to ensure that jobs and skills will thrive, along with pride of place that is well rooted and meaningful.
The proposal is purposely low tech in character, mapping to circular principles and low in carbon.
