Safe Trestles
Type
The Project uses the existing path from the parking to the Beach to
avoid further disruption of the vegetation and the natural conditions
of the place, it also continues the tradition of this path, the project
rises from the ground with columns to keep people on the path and to
avoid new path being generated illegally, eventually the nature in the
place will reclaim these illegal trail and will be filled with
vegetation again.
The trail has a slight slope from the parking lot to the train tracks,
the crossing of the tracks is above the railroad, from there a constant
slope of 8.3% lead you to the Beach at ground level.
The path is generated by the repetition of 7 modules that vary from
each other in height to generate shadows and viewing areas, the shape
of the modules uses the formal concept of the waves, were a single
surface rises and turns to generate the some covered and shaded areas,
the modules are a steel structure with a wood planks skin to make a
walking surface that doesn’t get too hot during summer or extended sun
exposure, and if damaged it can be replaced easily.
The different modules have different accessories, in the lower ones
a handrail is incorporated for safety, the modules that let the light
and rain go through, have a series of pots to have local vegetation
incorporated into the new trail, in the taller modules that generate
shaded areas, benches are incorporated and function as rest areas.
Along the trail there are several viewing spots were the landscape
can be admired, but there’s also a viewing area oriented to the ocean
which allows people to see the conditions of the beach and the waves.
At the end of the trail a separate volume that rises from the ground
with columns has the bathrooms, drinking fountains and showers for the
use of the people who visit and surf Trestles.
The project plays with the waves concept and also with the
repetition of the modules, different heights, the succession of shadow
and sun areas and it never closes completely to preserve the outdoors
conditions of the trail, also tries to have le least impact to the
place with prefabricated structures with dry joints to minimize the
waste during the construction and use of the project.Designed with Luis Morales
