A Masterpiece of Functionality & Aesthetics by York Bridge Concepts

The Wellstar East Cobb Hospice project in Marietta, GA, stands as a testament to the harmonious blend of functionality, aesthetic beauty, and thoughtful design. York Bridge Concepts (YBC), a leader in the design and construction of pedestrian bridges, was tasked with creating a covered pedestrian bridge that would not only serve as a functional passageway but also enhance the natural beauty of the surrounding environment. This project, which connects the parking area to the main medical facility, has become a defining feature of the hospice, reflecting the serenity and calm that the facility aims to offer its patients and visitors.

The Vision Behind The Wellstar East Cobb Project

When Wellstar Health System sought to improve access to its East Cobb Hospice facility, the vision was clear: create a passage that would provide easy access to the medical facility while preserving and enhancing the tranquility of the natural landscape. The hospice, located in a wooded area, is surrounded by lush greenery and a serene ravine, offering a peaceful environment for patients and visitors. The challenge was to design a bridge that could seamlessly integrate into this setting, providing a functional walkway without disrupting the natural beauty that defines the hospice.

York Bridge Concepts, known for its innovative and environmentally sensitive designs, was the perfect partner for this project. With years of experience in creating custom pedestrian bridges, YBC was tasked with constructing a covered bridge that would meander through the wooded area and span the ravine, connecting the parking area to the hospice. The result is a structure that not only serves its purpose but also enhances the overall aesthetic of the facility.

The Design: A Bridge That Reflects the Environment

One of the key aspects of the Wellstar East Cobb Hospice bridge is its design, which reflects both the architectural features of the medical facility and the natural environment. The bridge is covered, offering protection from the elements, but its design goes beyond mere functionality. YBC incorporated its signature Legacy trim, a design element that ties the bridge to the architectural style and color palette of the hospice.

The Legacy trim is more than just a decorative feature; it is a thoughtful design element that brings cohesion between the bridge and the hospice. The trim's clean lines and subtle detailing mirror the modern yet warm aesthetic of the medical facility, ensuring that the bridge feels like a natural extension of the building. The color palette, carefully chosen to complement the facility's exterior, helps the bridge blend into the landscape, creating a seamless transition from the parking area to the hospice.

The Construction of Wellstar East Cobb: Navigating Challenges with Expertise

Building a pedestrian bridge in a wooded area over a ravine presents unique challenges, but York Bridge Concepts approached the task with expertise and precision. The construction required careful planning and execution to ensure that the bridge would not only be safe and durable but also environmentally sensitive.

YBC's team of engineers and craftsmen worked closely with the Wellstar team to design a bridge that could be constructed with minimal disruption to the natural environment. The meandering path of the bridge was designed to follow the natural contours of the land, reducing the need for extensive excavation or tree removal. This approach not only preserved the integrity of the wooded area but also created a walkway that feels organic and natural.

The bridge's foundation was carefully engineered to ensure stability while minimizing its impact on the ravine. YBC used advanced construction techniques to install the bridge supports, ensuring that the structure would be able to withstand the elements and the test of time. The use of high-quality materials, including weather-resistant wood and metal components, ensures that the bridge will remain safe and functional for years to come.

Legacy Trim: A Signature of Quality and Cohesion

York Bridge Concepts' Legacy trim is a signature design feature that sets their bridges apart from the rest. For the Wellstar East Cobb Hospice project, the Legacy trim was not just an aesthetic choice; it was a deliberate design decision that tied the bridge to the architectural style of the hospice.

The Legacy trim features clean lines and subtle detailing that echo the modern, yet welcoming, design of the hospice. The trim was custom-designed to match the facility's color palette, creating a cohesive look that ties the bridge to its surroundings. This attention to detail ensures that the bridge feels like a natural extension of the hospice, rather than an afterthought.

In addition to its aesthetic benefits, the Legacy trim also serves a functional purpose. The trim adds structural integrity to the bridge, ensuring that it remains strong and stable. The use of high-quality materials in the trim's construction also ensures that it will withstand the elements, maintaining its appearance and functionality for years to come.

Environmental Sensitivity: A Commitment to Sustainability

One of the defining features of the Wellstar East Cobb Hospice project is its commitment to environmental sensitivity. York Bridge Concepts has always prioritized sustainability in its projects, and this bridge is no exception. From the initial design to the final construction, every aspect of the project was approached with an eye towards minimizing its environmental impact.

The location of the bridge, in a wooded area over a ravine, required careful planning to ensure that the natural environment was preserved. YBC worked closely with environmental consultants to assess the potential impact of the construction and to develop strategies to mitigate any negative effects. The result is a bridge that not only serves its purpose but also enhances the natural beauty of the area.

The materials used in the bridge's construction were chosen for their durability and environmental benefits. The wood used in the bridge was sourced from sustainable forests, ensuring that the project had a minimal carbon footprint. Additionally, the bridge was designed to require minimal maintenance, reducing the need for chemical treatments or other environmentally harmful practices.

Wellstar user experience, a pathway of peace & Serenity.

User Experience: A Pathway of Peace and Serenity

The Wellstar East Cobb Hospice bridge is more than just a functional walkway; it is an integral part of the user experience at the hospice. For patients, visitors, and staff, the bridge offers a peaceful transition from the outside world into the tranquil environment of the hospice.

As users walk along the bridge, they are surrounded by the natural beauty of the wooded area. The meandering path offers a moment of calm, allowing visitors to take a breath and prepare themselves for their time at the hospice. The covered design of the bridge provides protection from the elements, ensuring that users can enjoy the walk regardless of the weather.

The bridge also serves as a symbol of the hospice's commitment to providing a peaceful and supportive environment. By creating a walkway that is both functional and beautiful, Wellstar has demonstrated its dedication to the well-being of its patients and visitors. The bridge is a physical representation of the hospice's mission to provide care and comfort in a serene and supportive setting.

A Bridge That Embodies the Spirit of Wellstar East Cobb Hospice

The Wellstar East Cobb Hospice bridge, designed and constructed by York Bridge Concepts, is a true masterpiece of design, functionality, and environmental sensitivity. From its initial conception to its final construction, every aspect of the bridge was carefully considered to ensure that it met the needs of the hospice while enhancing the natural beauty of the surrounding area.

The bridge's design, featuring YBC's Legacy trim, ties the structure to the architectural style and color palette of the hospice, creating a cohesive and harmonious look. The construction process was approached with a commitment to sustainability, ensuring that the natural environment was preserved and that the bridge would remain a lasting feature of the hospice.

For the patients, visitors, and staff of Wellstar East Cobb Hospice, the bridge is more than just a way to get from the parking area to the main facility. It is a pathway of peace and serenity, a moment of calm in the midst of difficult times. York Bridge Concepts has created a bridge that not only serves its purpose but also embodies the spirit of the hospice, offering a place of comfort and beauty for all who use it.

The Wellstar East Cobb Hospice project is a shining example of what can be achieved when functionality, design, and environmental sensitivity come together in perfect harmony. York Bridge Concepts has once again proven why they are a leader in the field of pedestrian bridge design and construction, delivering a project that will stand the test of time and serve the community for years to come.

Atlantic Beach Country Club Project Overview

The Atlantic Beach Country Club offers luxury amenities that are the ‘heartbeat of the community’ for the ideal, fun in the sun, Florida lifestyle. The atmosphere is composed of coastal inspired architecture with quintessential colors & cladding that can almost make you hear the waves rolling in. Our Decero™ Design Team was inspired by the surroundings of these bridges and infused them into their profiles. First, a shutter inspired horizontal guiderail system & gently rolling timber clad free span substructure was designed. Then, a warm oasis of neutral earth tones, blue-green accents, and crisp white highlights was selected to coat the bridge. Each of these bridges were customized to meet the needs of the bustling golf course community. This required a trifecta of engineered capacities be used to support vehicular, golf cart, and pedestrian loading. Coasting over the waterways, these Legacy York Bridges perform structurally, aesthetically, and physically as the welcoming feature to the Atlantic Beach Country Club’s exquisite facilities.

Brookview at Citrus Park Vehicular Bridges – Tampa, FL

York Bridge ConceptsJune 18, 2018Florida, Multiple Crossings, Multiple Span, Vehicular Bridges

Brookhaven at Citrus Park Vehicular Bridges – Tampa, FL | York Bridge Concepts - Timber Bridge Builders

Brookview at Citrus Park: A Bridge in Harmony with Nature

It began with a vision in Tampa, Florida. Developers dreamed of a luxury community nestled in the verdant scenery of Brookview at Citrus Park. Yet this serene landscape held a challenge: residents would need a bridge to cross a vibrant ecosystem of wetlands and creeks—natural sanctuaries teeming with life.

This was no simple feat. Typical construction might bulldoze through the beauty, disturbing habitats and uprooting native flora. But York Bridge Concepts (YBC) approached the project differently, not as a disruption but as an invitation to build in harmony with nature. Their plan was bold: a bridge that would do more than connect—it would coexist, honor the landscape, and enhance the lives it touched.

"Residents and guests are impressed with the superb design and superior execution of these York Bridges. They blend perfectly with the surrounding structures and apartment buildings, adding an aesthetic that we would not have seen with any other material."
Thomas Wright, Development Construction Manager
Arlington Construction Services, LLC

A New Kind of Bridge In Tampa, FL

From the outset, YBC envisioned a timber bridge rooted in sustainability, one that would honor the environment and blend seamlessly with Brookview’s upscale architecture. Rather than clear-cutting or rerouting waterways, YBC adopted Deck-Level Construction, a method they had perfected for projects sensitive to environmental balance. This approach minimized disturbance, preserving delicate habitats and allowing the landscape to breathe even as the bridge took shape.

With this innovative construction method, YBC laid the groundwork—literally. The bridge was carefully assembled at deck level, reducing the need for heavy machinery and sparing the land beneath. In doing so, YBC avoided the costly and invasive environmental mitigation processes that often follow traditional bridge builds.

Colors of the Landscape, Shapes of the Community

As construction progressed, the bridge began to echo the colors and textures of its surroundings. YBC carefully chose hues that matched the warm tans and greys of the natural Tampa palette, with dashes of tropical blues and oranges reminiscent of nearby sunsets and skies. This thoughtful palette meant the bridge wouldn’t stand as a stark reminder of human intervention but rather as a graceful extension of the natural and built environments.

Subtle but striking features brought further elegance to the structure: scenic wire mesh railings opened up views of the creek below, and black post caps added sophistication, mirroring the aesthetic of Brookview’s luxury residences. Every detail was designed to make the bridge both beautiful and durable, a reflection of the neighborhood’s quality and the environment’s enduring strength.

A Material Built for the Ages

To meet the Florida climate and the demands of vehicular traffic, YBC selected Southern Yellow Pine—a renewable, resilient wood treated with CCA/CA-C to withstand weather, decay, and even pests. This choice wasn’t just practical but ethical; sourcing sustainable wood aligned with the bridge’s purpose to preserve, not exploit, the environment.

YBC added extra layers of protection through acrylic and polymer coatings, ensuring the bridge could stand strong through Tampa’s seasons, rain, or shine. Through these treatments, the wood would resist decay, promising a lifespan of over 75 years and showing that eco-conscious choices could indeed meet rigorous standards for durability.

YBC Is Leading The Engineering the Path Forward For Timber Bridge Building

Underneath this beautiful facade lay a robust engineering feat. YBC’s engineers crafted a bridge strong enough to support HS 20-44 vehicular traffic standards while balancing across the sensitive floodplain. Timber piles and glulam stringers provided foundational strength, distributing the load across multiple spans to safeguard the structure against Florida’s intense weather cycles.

The bridge wasn’t just an infrastructure marvel; it was a new kind of bridge for a new era, one that married form with function and strength with sensitivity. Residents could cross knowing their bridge wasn’t merely a path but a partner to the environment.

A Community and Landscape Transformed By York Bridge Concepts & Brookview Companies

As the final touches were placed and the bridge opened, Brookview’s residents found that their commute had become something more—a daily journey over a bridge that felt alive, rooted in the same soil that nourished their community.

This was more than a structure; it was a reflection of Brookview at Citrus Park itself: a harmonious blend of luxury living and ecological respect. YBC’s innovative approach showed what could happen when construction companies see themselves as stewards of the land rather than conquerors. And for YBC, it was another step forward, a commitment to not only build but to honor, preserve, and enhance.
