The project adopted the movement of waves and how they behave in the presence of wind as its design concept. Located on a mountainous site with a stream crossing through it, the pathway is structurally composed of 17 modules measuring 5.85m x 6.20m, totaling a 100m-long walkway with 6m of interior width.

For its construction, glued laminated timber (GLT) was used, a structural material produced by bonding individual wood segments with industrial adhesives, as well as concrete for the foundation pillar measuring 1.20m x 2.80m in diameter. Finally, metal components were used for all connections, from 8mm-thick steel plates to steel cables fastening the frames together.

The structure is composed of wooden slats measuring 0.25m x 0.10m which, when connected, form frames that imitate the movement of the water surface below the project. This composition allows light to enter, creating an impressive play of light and shadow on the floor.

Thus, this pathway becomes a place for staying and contemplating nature, rather than simply a route whose sole purpose is crossing. The goal was to create a space for reflection and awareness of how it integrates with its surroundings.
