For the same country estate, for which we carried out various developments, it was necessary to propose a design and develop a bathhouse diving platform. The client asked us to come up with something interesting.

To break the lyrical mood, we decided to move away from the theme of chalets and folk architecture and proposed a modern ship and bridge theme. And the client enthusiastically accepted this theme. Nearby, there is a bridge in the same style for crossing the canal of the lake system on the site. You can also see the bridge on our website in the «Small architectural forms»

The bridge platform itself is a continuation of the terrace stairs that lead directly from the relaxation room of the bathhouse. This platform cantilevers over the water surface; its cantilever extension is 2.8 m, and its width is 1.5 m. The bridge deck is made of terrace boards of the valuable wood species «Mirbau.» Similar to the adjacent bridge, inclined supports with metal elements made of round bars, imitating ropes or cables, as well as dynamically shaped railings resembling waves, evoke analogies with the rigging of sailing vessels and the aquatic element. A ladder made of polished stainless steel with handrails was provided for climbing out of the water. The technological fastening nodes of the platform to the hangers complement the overall appearance of the structure. The construction of the bridge (like the neighboring bridge) was undertaken by our long-term partners – the firm «Metalstyle.» And they did not disappoint! As always, everything was done at the highest level.

It turned out elegant, functional, and beautiful!
