Kopua Footbridge
Bossley Architects worked with Aurecon Bridge Engineering to design this new footbridge linking the Raglan township with the camp ground and other facilities to the west of the river mouth, the existing 50 year old footbridge was seriously decayed and in need of replacement.
The team explored a variety of options, which had different urban design implications to the township, and after extensive public consultation a simple option was chosen. The new bridge was constructed just alongside the old, to enable the old bridge to operate during the construction of the new.
The new bridge allows ample boat traffic underneath due to its increased height, and fewer supports minimise disruption to the seafloor. The coloured balustrades give the bridge a unique visual language and reflect the tones of the surrounding natural landscape.

About the
Professional
Bossley Architects is a multidisciplinary Architecture and Interior Design practice based in Tamaki Makaurau Auckland, creating architecture to lift the spirit. The practice is based on the belief that innovative yet practical design is essential for the production of good buildings and spaces, and that the best buildings spring from an open and enthusiastic collaboration between architect, client and consultants.
We have designed a wide range of projects including commercial, institutional and residential, and have amassed special expertise in the field of art galleries and museums, residential and the restaurant/entertainment sector.
Whilst being very much design focused, the practice has an overriding interest in the pragmatics and feasibility of construction. There is considerable hands-on building experience amongst the personnel, and buildings are carefully detailed with construction methods in mind.
