From the architect. The bridge is located just north of the town Sand in the municipality of
Suldal on the west coast of Norway. It is the result of extensive design process which
started in 2008 after a design workshop together with Czech architect Ivan Kroupa where
the inhabitants of Sand were given the opportunity to make a referendum over some of
our initial ideas.

The bridge connects the town to a vast wooden landscape which is used for recreation by
the inhabitants of Sand. This new connection makes the area more accessible for the
general public and allows people of all generations to use the area.

The idea behind the chosen proposal was to establish a horizontal reference line in the
landscape, to emphasize the undulant and organic shapes in the bedrock. The bridge
consists of two steel lattice beams in corten steel on each side of the walkway, with a
system of vertical and diagonal members. The walls are clad with sheets of stainless steel
stretch-metal and corten steel. On the south side of the river, after crossing the bridge
from Sand, a small pavilion in concrete was made to accommodate for small picnics and
pit-stops for passers-by.

An important issue from the very start of the design process was to capture the power of

the river running underneath the bridge. This was developed into an enclosed acoustic
space above the middle of the river with a view through a steel grate directly down to the
river, which gives the visitor a direct connection with this untamed natural element.
