Cidade Nova Metro Station and Walkway
Cidade Nova Metro Station and Walkway project bridges downtown and the northern zone with structural solutions that respect the surroundings and optimize land use
Located along a major traffic corridor in Rio de Janeiro — near Presidente Vargas avenue, directly across from City Hall — the Cidade Nova Metro Station and Walkway project, designed by JBMC Arquitetura e Urbanismo, plays a key role in connecting the city center with the northern zone. The project blends functionality, structural lightness, and urban integration, serving as an example of how infrastructure can seamlessly and strategically engage with the urban fabric.

The mix-use building includes offices, restaurants and two levels of shopping that are interconnected with overhead walkways and bridges. Adjustable slats for shading produce a shadowplay of natural light.

Valley Lake Lookout
Valley Lake estate, in Keilor East, is located in a visually stunning pocket of the thriving north-west Melbourne, where land formations create a dramatic yet protective atmosphere. Built on the sloping land that was once Niddrie Quarry, basalt for road paving was mined there from the 1940s until 1975. McGregor Coxall worked with Places Victoria to develop a lookout and viewing platform that would act as an anchor point for locals to enjoy the outdoors and participate in neighbourhood activation.Capturing the distinctive character and atmosphere of the landscape, the view overlooks 30 hectares of open space and escarpments. To date more than 180 houses have been built with another 400 in the pipeline and thus the lookout provides vital loca... More

Dulles Corridor Metrorail Walkways
The new Dulles Corridor Metrorail Silver Line has significantly reduced the commute time between Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia. In the first phase of the project, a direct route runs from Washington, D.C. to Tysons Corner, but will be eventually expanded to run all the way to Dulles International Airport. In addition to the new line, pedestrian bridges featuring more than 60,000-square-feet of Banker Wire woven wire mesh were also created and interspersed throughout the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Silver Line. The pedestrian bridges, with Banker Wire woven wire mesh, connect metro stations to parking lots – helping commuters cross busy roads more safely.
For this project, efficiency was of the utmost importance, as the bridges... More

Morris Arboretum, Out on a Limb
Metcalfe worked with Morris Arboretum to craft a unique treetop experience - a place to learn from nature. The exhibit extends along 450 feet of elevated pathways within the arboretum’s forest. Our design balances perceived danger, actual safety, beautiful materials, and real trees. A visitor favorite is the “Squirrel Scramble,” an open-net climb suspended 50 feet above the ground where visitors can play and lounge in the forest canopy.
“[Out on a Limb] makes you see the world in a new way... [Metcalfe applies] time-honored architectural tricks to enhance nature’s drama—opening up a wide vista here, compressing the focus over there, while frequently testing our fear of heights. The result is a space that exerts an irresistible allure, t... More
