Kirstenbosch Tree Canopy Walkway

Architect: Mark Thomas Architects

A curved steel walkway winding through the tree canopy of a botanical garden

The walkway’s curved steel form was chosen specifically so it could be threaded through existing trees without removing any of them — the structure adapts to the forest rather than the forest being cleared for the structure.

Materials

  • Steel lattice structure
  • Timber decking
