THE CASCADE

Cascade is a pedestrian steel bridge located along the St. John River in New Brunswick, concealed among the forest’s flora and fauna. The form is influenced by the natural patterns of nearby waterfalls and lily pads, creating a playful path that connects a campsite to a network of trails.

​

As users move across the bridge, they experience a series of relaxing and atmospheric views, supported by its gracefully arched structure and stylish curved elements that reflect the form of lily pads. This design fosters a strong connection between the bridge and its context, emphasizing harmony with nature. Integrated lighting further enhances the experience, adding a soft glow to the canopy and creating a magical setting that invites exploration and a greater appreciation for the surrounding landscape.
