The project of this new bridge is located between the two cities of Rheinfelden, Germany and Switzerland. On a very specific point of the Rhine, a new pedestrian and cycle bridge should be built.

Our answer to this task corresponds to an aesthetically modern infrastructure: an undulating organic line as an echo to the river and hills of the Rhine landscape. The strength of our project is its respectful treatment of the Rhine, despite its distinctive appearance.

Simple and free of superfluous details, this soft line follows the forces over the bridge and thus highlights the beauty of the structure: Harmony and balance. Two terms that characterize this bridge. The bridge crossing is a special experience. The landings of the bridge correspond to site-specific conditions and allow therefore a variety of views on the Rhine and its surrounding.
