Artists’ Studio Bridge in San Diego, United States by Safdie Rabines ArchitectsAugust 29th, 2014 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Safdie Rabines Architects The studio project is for two artists wishing to create a new work space while minimizing the impact of any new construction on the natural landscape of their property. The studio is located to the rear of their home, connecting it to a beautiful portion of the site which prior to the addition was inaccessible.

Image Courtesy © Artists’ Studio The bridge is supported on two concrete piers on either side of the canyon and is spanned with two trusses made of top and bottom glulam chords with steel cross members. A pair of oversized sliding doors on each side adds to the feeling of suspension while capturing the ocean breezes.  Image Courtesy © Artists’ Studio  Image Courtesy © Artists’ Studio
