Upon arrival users are met with a bold array of fragmented sheltering structures (1) , casting alluring shadows onto the site passage;
concealing small areas of seating hosting views through the concealing woodland and out towards the river.
The landscape greets the river via an amphitheatre-like structure (2) leading users down to the river and sheaf through a
compelling integration of steps, stepped seating, viewing platforms and a ramp for the convenient access of wheelchair and pushchair users. Blocks of seating break off and extend along a path running through the woodland growth, establishing niche pockets of private reflection space, with unfolding views through the woodland trees. This unique feature as a dynamic whole allows the public to actively engage with the river confluence and adjacent historic features, immersing users in the serene surroundings.
A boardwalk meets with the river edge, allowing users to actively engage with the water’s edge along a river walk bordering the River Don and Sheaf. This extends out to form a viewing platform adjacent to the river confluence; indulging users in an experiential display of historic architecture and blankets of reed beds, providing a majestic motion and tranquil life to the river.
‘A dynamic web of concealed spaces leads to a landscape where structural restraints begin to break and unfold;
returning to a state of purity, calmness and harmony with the river’.
