Award winning bridge designers
Our core focus is pedestrian bridge design and bridge architecture.
We are a specialist bridge design firm who help Councils, Designers, Contractors, and Developers deliver creative, vibrant, cost effective footbridges and cyclebridges.
We are the designers of the ACE Gold Award-winning Manganui Gorge Suspension Bridge.
We aim to design NZ bridges that local and regional communities can be proud of – and more importantly – that they can afford.

Delivering cost effective but striking bridges
We combine sleek bridge engineering forms with thoughtful and elegant detailing. Streamlined bridge architecture is synonymous with the most cost-effective options and striking this balance between “cost” vs. “beauty” is our core strength and a great driving principle for clients and communities.
