The Problem
The client’s expansive property within the Scottish Highlands featured a vast natural backdrop that demanded a more substantial and commanding bridge design. While the original Monet+1 model was admired for its elegance, it was deemed too delicate for the scale and grandeur of the surrounding environment. The client sought a bridge that would retain the aesthetic charm of the Monet+1 while presenting a thicker, more pronounced structure to complement the dramatic landscape.
Key challenges included:
- Designing a bridge that integrates with the Highland’s rugged yet beautiful surroundings.
- Meeting the client’s request for thicker handrails, an enhanced bottom arch, and emphasised features like finial balls.
- Balancing aesthetics with practicality in a setting exposed to the elements.
The Solution
We took on the challenge with our bespoke craftsmanship expertise. The solution was a fully custom bridge built on the framework of the popular Monet+1 design and tailored to meet the client’s specific requirements.
Collaborative Design Process:
Using our bespoke design philosophy, we worked alongside the client to create multiple CAD drawings, iterating until both aesthetics and functionality were perfected.
Enhanced Features:
Thicker Handrails & Enlarged Bottom Arch: These adjustments ensured the bridge had a more prominent visual presence while maintaining structural integrity.
Extra-large Finial Balls on Posts: For added character and elegance, matching the grand setting.
Quality Craftsmanship:
Combining traditional woodworking techniques with precision tools, Our team ensured every detail met our rigorous quality standards.
Focus on Durability:
We ensured that materials used, including Accoya wood, were FSC-certified and built to withstand the Highland’s harsh weather conditions, guaranteeing longevity.
The entire process exemplified our hallmark approach of blending technical skill with stunning craftsmanship. The result? A bridge that’s a work of art and a functional piece of landscape architecture.
Results
The client was thrilled with the finished bridge, which received rave reviews from visitors as well. Key outcomes include:
