dialogue with the Jetty Wooden deck Public Space
Wooden deck Public Space is Iron Design Award winner in 2016 - 2017 Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award Category.
Wooden deck Public Space

The very narrow, historical jetty allows to approach the jet of pressurized water and to take advantage of its spray, without however offering any proper public space.The new walkway was conceived as a wide ribbon that follows the length of the long-standing jetty. It begins with a welcoming platform, without steps, accessible to all directly from the quay. The wooden walkway provides a wide and generous access (average width : 3.80m) over 190m long. Along the stone jetty , the floor planks lift off, bend and shape benches. They invite multiple uses.
