"The new designs reveal a 170-square-metre structure featuring a 'generous, accessible deck', according to Carter Gregson Gray, the architecture firm behind the project."
"Public feedback during the application process stressed that it was also important to have enough space for cyclists, which influenced the final design, making the bridge even more spacious."
"Inspired by images of timber planks floating in the dock, the designers have developed the structure to look like a floating raft between the two edges of the dock."
The Albion Bridge in Canada Water will replace a small faux drawbridge from the 1980s with a 170-square-metre structure. Designed by Carter Gregson Gray, the new bridge features a spacious deck, leaning rails, and amenity space for people to pause. Public feedback emphasized the need for cyclist accommodation, influencing the design to ensure ample space. The bridge's aesthetic is inspired by timber planks, resembling a floating raft over the Albion Channel, enhancing the area's appeal and accessibility.
