Gray Organschi Architecture

This pedestrian bridge, comprised of prefabricated glue-laminated planks hung from a cable-stay system tied to a single tower on the north bank, provides accessible passage across the Shepaug River and entry into Steep Rock’s 3000-acre nature conservancy for both able-bodied and disabled visitors alike. The design, a product of close collaboration with wetland and wildlife biologists, introduces innovative and sustainable construction techniques to solve the problem of building in sensitive ecological zones.
