Swing Bridge - Greenwich, London Moxon Architects • Flint & Neill • Qualter Hall
This £3.5 million award winning swing bridge across the Deptford Creek at Greenwich, London was built by Moxon Architects. Featuring Surelight’s Orionis LED Strip Lights incorporated into the hand rails. Around 50m in length, the swing bridge was being built across Deptford Creek; allowing access to pedestrians and cyclists from Deptford to Greenwich. As such lighting was an important part of the design. With a sculptural form, suggestive of origami, the lighting needed to be robust to withstand the outside elements, be bright enough to illuminate the bridge for pedestrians but be perfectly hidden and incorporated into the bridge to work well with Moxon’s design. With the help of our in-house experts Moxon Architects were able to hide the Orionis LED strip lighting in the handrails of the bridge.
Surelight love when customers push the boundaries of lighting architecture. Our team in the past have altered and customised lighting specifically for one off projects. For this project in particular our team put together a concept sketch on how to hide all the wiring in the handrail to make Moxon’s lighting idea a reality. The bridge has received a very positive reception with locals and tourist alike; being shortlisted for a number of awards including the Structural Steel Awards 2015 and ICE Evening Standard People’s Choice Award.
