Clear structural logic
Span, loads, supports and deflection inform the depth and rhythm of the bridge.
Connections & crossings · Designed and made in Nice
Bespoke metal footbridges
Developed by our in-house team, fabricated in our workshop and installed by people who know the project.
Purpose-designed steel and stainless-steel footbridges for villas, landscaped sites, buildings and public spaces.

The project
Designed for its setting, use and architecture.
A footbridge must resolve a span, two arrival levels and the experience of crossing between them. The structure, deck, balustrades and support conditions are studied as one system.
Our design office coordinates geometry and fabrication with the structural requirements and the realities of access, lifting and assembly on site.
What we resolve
The decisions that define the finished work.
Integrated balustrades
Parapets and handrails are coordinated with the deck, structure and approach routes.
Buildable in difficult sites
Transport sizes, lifting points and installation sequences are anticipated from the outset.
Material choice
Steel, stainless steel, timber, glass and non-slip deck finishes are combined to suit use and exposure.

Applications
For private, professional and public projects.
Design and installation are adapted to the building, its users and the site conditions recorded during the survey.
Links between villa levels
Garden and landscape crossings
Connections between buildings
Public and hospitality projects
Our involvement
From site survey to final handover.
Site information feeds into the fabrication drawings, then stays with the workshop and installation team.
Site data
Levels, span, supports, access and use are recorded and checked.
Engineering development
Structure, deck, balustrades, interfaces and erection strategy are coordinated.
Controlled fabrication
The bridge is assembled in the workshop in sections suited to transport and installation.
Erection
Our teams position, connect and finish the assembly on site.
Frequently asked questions
Useful points before an initial assessment.
Do you work with structural engineers?+
Yes. Structural calculations and design responsibilities are coordinated according to the size and context of the project.
Can a footbridge be installed on a steep site?+
Yes, subject to survey and access. The design and erection method are developed together for constrained terrain.
Can the deck be timber or glass?+
Different deck materials are possible. Their slip resistance, drainage, durability and connection to the metal frame must be resolved in detail.
